Novice at French Press, but I finally made a good cup of coffee this morning. I am using a blend by a local coffee house. It is a Italian Roast Mexican and Sumatran blend.

If you like iced coffee the French Press is probably the best way to make it. Basically, grind the coffee with a typical French Press grind. Add cold water instead of hot. Place in fridge for a min of 10 hrs. Press and pour over ice (add cream/sugar if desired). Absolutely amazing.

Is there a way to make my full 8 cup FP and save some for the afternoon? Or does it get really bad?

Teevio says:
well i'd suggest you press it and pour it into a diff. container. the 10 hrs is also a suggestion with flexibility either way.
you will notice that it looks relatively 'watered down', but don't be decieved the taste is amazing.

I have three at home, and one at the office. I even got this new travel french press from REI for Christmas. I have a 6 cup, 2 cup, 2 cup I use for tea, the 2 cup at work, and then the travel one. The moment I tasted pressed coffe, I put my brewer out on the curb with a sign saying, "free to someone who doesn't care."

it all starts with the french press. and i might be the only person here who drinks coffee for the flavor. caffeine makes me anxious so decaf for me. and no cream or sugar. i'm sort of a snob.

my first coffee experiences were with the super sweet mixes. but as time went on I went more hardcore. I like it for the flavor too, although now, I don't think I could live without coffee.

to be honest i would rather have a cup of tea. gross story about candy bar drinks. i'm a employee at starbucks ( i hate to call myself a barista) and there is this one lady that always wants a grande caramel macchiato and she always ask for the cup to be filled with 1/3 caramel sauce. so disgusting. she is going to get type 2 diabetes. thats not coffee. oh well to each his own.

I can relate (sort of). I always thought the "cool" people drank coffee, but I thought it was gross. So, I started with the sweet stuff, then eventually, with much effort and determination, worked my way down to black. I was 12 when I started drinking it black.
Now, it pulses through my veins. The caffeine doesn't effect me much - maybe my body is saturated with it?

my first experience with coffee was when I was little and I had some coffee at a garage sale. The coffee was super cheap, burnt, watered down, and super disgusting.
my daughter, who is 2 loves Dunkin Donuts iced coffee. We gave her a sip once, and then would catch her drinking it if we left it somewhere.

French Press means Saturday morning breakfast with my wife.
It's always the best cup of coffee of the week.

I hate to say it, but I generally go for what is on sale, which has been Starbucks. I definitely like the French Roast with the French Press. I've tried Italian Roast too and another kind of which I can't remember. I haven't had my French Press very long so I haven't gotten to try a variety of different beans yet.
I used to get the Tanzanian Peaberry, definitely an interesting bean. When I first got it I didn't realize that the Peaberry beans are significantly smaller and more pea shaped than most beans.

I have been buying whole beans from Janson Family Coffee www.jansoncoffee.com
It's the freshest, fairest traded coffee I have had. It tastes good too!

Hands down the best cup o joe I've ever had was the espresso roast (made in a FP) from Java House in Nairobi (www.nairobijavahouse.com/contact.htm). The richness and slight floral boquet are like nothing else I've had. I also love the limited addition Indonesia Flores from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf with it's deep chocolaty quality (http://coffeebean.com/Limited-Edition-Indonesia-Flores-P330C59.aspx?Page=1).

Everything in South Korea is instant, at least when it comes to coffee. I'm glad I brought my bodum, but my supply of coffee is dwindling fast! Anyone want to mail me some? I would appreciate it.

nothing is quality. since the Koreans are so accustomed to instant, they have no notion of "good coffee." the beans and grounds they DO have are rather gross, and grossly overpriced.

what about mail order coffee? Like Starbucks (not sure if they ship overseas)?

I recommend roasting your own coffee; thus getting great coffee anytime, anywhere.
– Get yourself a roaster; not too expensive -- the cheapest I've found is an $80 roaster; though it creates alot of smoke, or for a higher end indoor roaster; this is the one I use
– Then buy raw beans of your choice and experience the best coffee you can get anywhere. I roast my own coffee; there's not much better than that. I use Sweet Maria's.
I highly recommend it (for anyone)

Teevio says:
Hmmm, i might have to try this. I didn't realize that had roasters for home use.

I never thought about doing my own roasting. However, after looking around, I think it would be a little "excessive" to take the do-it-yourself approach here. Thanks for the links, I'll surely be hitting them up when I'm back state-side.
As far as mail order coffee goes - no luck finding international shippers.
Begging friends and family is the next option I can think of.
