French Press

[Phillygirl]

Okay, so I decided I'm going to buy a french press. I usually don't drink coffee at home, but my lack of a coffee maker has started to get on my nerves. Since I will only use it occasionally, and I love the taste of good strong coffee from a french press, I figured I may as well buy one.

Does anybody here have one? Which one do you recommend? I see no reason to go crazy over price. But I'm looking at the grinders it seems that a good grinder may cost me $200, whereas a decent french press can be less than $100.

Any suggestions out there?

And here I was expecting an article from Le Monde...

French Press (we don't call them that here, but this is what I use:)

And for grinding, Kenwood is fine, although there are many others:

You need both, but they are not expensive.

Also, keep the beans in the freezer and only take them out just before you put them through the grinder.

They sell coffee in little cans/bricks at Walmart. They even sell these little single serve packets. No pressing necessary ;)

Get a burr mill grinder - I used to have a cuisinart, but I drink so much coffee I wore it iut in 18 months, I think it cost somewhere around $60. They also make a blade grinder for about $30.

I buy my whole bean coffee from Costco. I prefer the Jamaican or New Guinea but their house bean is also quite good. The greasier the bean the better

Thanks. I was wondering how the cuisanart was. I don't drink that much coffee at home (actually, none right now) and figure I'd probably only use it once a week or so, so it should last me longer than the 18 months.
