mornin' vs my standard French Press. She went the extra yard, bought non-dye paper filters.
The winner, and still champ: F P.
I could see the bottom of the cup through the drip, not so the powerful, muddy FP.
Taste (obviously) was immense compared to merely satisfying.
FP, to me, is the best way to enjoy the bean, surpassing espresso that extracts more acid, necessitating more sugar and coloring the coffee flavor.
What're you drinking and how ya makin' it?
Additionally, I'm not a fan of the African coffees with their unique flavor characteristics, nor do I favor the C. American product with their comparatively weak signatures.
Colombian. Or, selected Brazilian. I actually prefer the latter (I was raised on it…) because of the low acid, powerful flavor that many ascribe to the slow-roasting technique as much as the beans themselves.
