    I don't even drink coffee, but I watched this because I want to know how French presses even work and it looks cool! Idk if I'll ever convert from the occasional tea to the occasional coffee.... I think I like cold coffee more and that's the thing.

    • @TheBookHoarder
      @TheBookHoarder 9 років тому +5

      If you use loose leaf tea, you can also use a french press to steep it. :D That's how I did so before I picked up other steeping tools!

    • @TheLovelyBooks
      @TheLovelyBooks 9 років тому

      My friends and I had a tea party once and we used a Perfectea Maker for the loose leaf teas from Teavana, which is basically a single serving and a lot like the pour over Kat used for her coffee. :)

    It's because you used fresh ground coffee. What you could also do (if this is too much work for 3 times a day) is use the ceramic filter you us in the intro, with the fresh ground coffee and depending on the size of the thermos you use, adjust the amount of coffee you put in the filter. I come from a big coffee drinking family and for a thermos of 2 liters (I think that's about 67 fluid ounces but I'm not sure about American measurements) It's about the size of a family sized soda bottle. We use 6 to 8 scoops of coffee but we like it to be strong so adjust to your liking :)

  • @katherinerose1452

    I'm from Brazil, yea? And watch you marvel over black coffee was so hilarious to me! We take it that way everyday every morning! But you have to put some (not much tho) sugar in it. You get use to the strong flavor after the first 2 cups. Also, I certainly don't put that much coffee at once in a cup! You have to drink it while hot, so put just a bit in your cup and refill it later, from the thermos for maximum hotness!
    Hope you enjoy your black coffee more now xx

    I have no idea why I'm watching this now. It's just after 3:30 AM! Also, I don't care for coffee, but, oddly enough this video makes me really want hot chocolate. And every time I see Mr. Coffee all I can think of is that Mel Brooks movie, Spaceballs.
    I know this comment is totally random, but like I said, 3:30 AM!! I clearly need sleep.

    8oz. = 2 scoops, 16oz. = 3 scoops, 20oz. = 4scoops. That's how we do it at Starbucks! xD French presses are super exciting though! I generally just use mine when I'm have a 'relax' day, because it takes longer to make then my average keurig cup. It's a great treat whenever I use it. :]

    Interesting. I've never heard of a french press, but then again, I'm not much of a coffee connoisseur per se. Actually, I just don't drink coffee. Never had a taste for it, but I've only had it in small amounts.
    Either way, congrats on the coffee experiment. You should totally do a series of videos with different types of coffee and the different makings of it. It could be fun for you and give you something to vlog about. :3

  • @TheBookishGamer
    @TheBookishGamer 9 років тому

    First comment here, but been a fan for a long while! I'm a new coffee drinker, only started drinking sometime last month, and loved this! I'll have to look into getting one. My current way of drinking is warm milk, chocolate or hazelnut creamer (depending which I want), then coffee and sweetener. I haven't explored beyond this much I did get a coffee at a cafe but I forgot what it was lol! I don't like the strong bitter taste, so I'm open to all suggestions for coffee :).

    Yes!!!! I could not survive without my French Press. When my best friend needed a place to stay for a few months inbetween apartments he stayed at my house. When he walked in he handed me a brand new French Press and told me, "You will not be able to live without one after today."
    Alright time to go downstairs and use my French Press.
    Great video!

    I love a good cup of french pressed coffee. It was definitely worth the investment! I agree with those who advised to keep the lid on the press while the coffee steeps. If I have coffee leftover, I'll put it in a mason jar and stick it in the fridge. Cold coffee for later! :)

    This looks like soooo much work for coffee. What if you're super tired early in the morning and you need it now? Or maybe I'm just spoiled by my Keurig. But I have the same grinder only mine is red! It does lol intriguing though. Maybe for when people are over and you have time?

    • @Christine-nu4dv

  • @KrisfiberANDarts
    @KrisfiberANDarts 9 років тому +5

    If you use the French press to make cold brew it's much stronger (it's coffee concentrate) and you would only have to make it the night before. Believe me when I say you won't need to make multiple. It lasts for a few cups because it's so strong. The trick is to use cold water the night before, put in fridge, in morning press, and serve. It's sweeter than french press because there was no heat in the brewing (heat causes bitterness). You can heat it after if you want a hot cup (still stunt be bitter because you are heating the coffee and not the bean) but it's so much smoother and since you prep it the night before it's less time in the morning/you only clean it once.

  • @LauraMae
    @LauraMae 9 років тому

    I love french press coffee, that's how I opt to make mine when I have the time. :) A couple tips - use a burr grinder, it gives you a more even grind, so you get less sediment in your coffee. Also, use something plastic or wood to stir the grinds into the water, a metal spoon may shatter the hot glass. I usually use a chopstick. And the best for last, it is also pretty tasty to add a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the grinds before adding water. :D

    @BohemianKitsch 9 років тому

    don't know if you're still using it, but if you're really into the flavors and nuances of real coffee, be sure to use water that's below boiling. if you bring it to a full boil, let it sit for 4 minutes before using. that way you'll get the full flavor without scorching.
    also, while i do go to Starbucks for the double shot, Peet's and Coffee Bean have way better beans for the french press.

  • @MaddeWellRead

  • @JB-sz4wy
    @JB-sz4wy 9 років тому

    Cold brew coffee off the French press is the worst. I did that once to save having to throw out coffee my parents made and left on it. It tasted heavy and watery. Often coffee off the French press does. There are better ways of making coffee although lots of coffee machines today I can imagine are low quality and not a good buy even though they are on sale in many major stores. Espresso machines and cappuccino machines are often oversized, taking up kitchen space, and the latter have milk go in them which is not sanitary and increases their general cleaning maintenance as old bits of milk spoil in the machine and can make people very sick and even have lead to food poisoning as some people are lazy and do not clean them out. I don't like espresso much although a bit more than cappuccino so I do not think that I want that either. I would suggest an ordinary machine of a reasonable size unless one wants the other ones

    • @JB-sz4wy
      @JB-sz4wy 9 років тому

      A whole lot of crap I can make great coffee when I do. People always use the French press wrong. If one makes coffee off the press it has to be drank a few minutes after its brewed. With an electric maker the water goes through the grind into the pot or cup. That way it does not overbrew if it sits. If it sits on the French press it sits on top of the grind and overbrews and gets a taste of radiator water and becomes bitter and oily in the wrong way. And for those who like it bitter a good bitterness is a crisp one and thats a good thing and something else. Coffee should not be oily and heavy. So if its going to sit Id transfer it off the press

    No! You didn't use too much Coffee! You over saturated the Grounds and makes a sludgy messy clean up. The best way to mix You grounds with Your water is fill the Beaker half way then You agitate the ground then fill it to the top of the metal band of Your beaker cage. To clean the Plunge filter Unscrew the stem from the plunge filter then it should be in three parts. Keep Your beakers clean and SAFE! Handle Your Pumpy with care and You're off to a Fulfilling relationship. You should get a smaller pumpy to froth Milk with and You can make home made Lattes. Stevia is a Great sweetener for these Heavenly Coffee beverages. You'll never go back to everyday Joe again! YUCK!
