It tastes best with the paper filter and 175 degrees. And it tastes best by making it concentrated (using the recommended amount of water per measure of coffee grinds) and then adding hot water later. If you run more hot water through the coffee gorunds (as one poster suggested so he could use less ground coffee) you get more bitterness and acid and probably more caffeine but it certainly doesn't taste as good. So as fun as it is to modify things and try to improve on a good idea - I'm finding the best results by using it exactly as instructed by the inventor.

]]> Comment on A Portable, Recyclable French Press by Ken http://weeklyroast.com/blog/a-portable-recyclable-french-press.html/comment-page-1#comment-310 Ken Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:22:23 +0000 http://weeklyroast.com/blog/?p=1212#comment-310 Karl, that's a great observation! If customers were to drink quickly, I think this could work but it is true that the grounds at the bottom of the french press cup would continue to brew since they're still in contact with hot water. What would be nice to prevent this is if after pushing the plastic mesh down, it somehow locked the coffee grounds from having any more contact with the brew above them.

Most people I know take a travel mug & enjoy their coffee over a decently long period of time, and if you do that while still letting the grounds sit, it's going to get pretty rough after a short period of time.
