Right now I'm still drinking iced coffee. It's too hot for a hot beverage. I’ll have to remember to preheat when the weather turns cold. Right now I’m still drinking iced coffee.

It's amazing how such a simple thing like preheating can make such a huge difference in taste. Tempering the french press is actually recommended! Not only is it important to preheat the cup where the coffee will be poured in to, preheating the french press (or dripper) is also very helpful in preventing that initial dramatic heat loss that happens when you first start brewing. French presses are notorious for losing heat during the 4-minute steep time. Some people even wrap towels around their french presses to help against heat loss. Preheating definitely helps!

I started preheating my cup when I started using the French Press. I have what I call my "magic bullet" thermos - about 24 oz. or so - and it keeps coffee hot for several hours (drinkable for up to 24 hours!), but only if you "temper" it first. I figured the same principle would work with my cup. Here's how I do it...When I start heating the kettle for my French press, I fill a pint-sized measuring cup with water and nuke it in the microwave till boiling. Then I fill my thermos and cup, and partially fill my French press until the water in the kettle reaches optimum temperature. Tempering the press is really probably not necessary, but it works for me! Thanks for your insights. And thanks for the best coffee I've ever drunk! Thanks for the tip – and the reinforcement, Ken!
