      Millennial here...lucky for you a lot of us embrace being hip and trendy with home appliances our great grandparents were familiar with. So while many millennials enjoy quick brew kcup machines. Some of us take pride in doing stuff the old fashioned way. Plus it makes us look cool when our friends come by and are baffled by the french press, the tea kettle, the cheese grater, the mesh tea balls, the air fryer ect. Thanks to the internet some of us are discovering the days of old on our own and being cooler than you baby boomers thought you were.
      Didn't mean to be so pretentious. But we as millennials are tired of being attacked. Most of us are 30 now and full grown adults with health problems, noticeable signs of aging and chronic illnesses linked simply to aging. That alone is killing us enough. We dont need to continue to eat big heaping helpings of baby boomer sh*t everytime one of us does anything you think is stupid because it's not what you did 40 years ago.
      When I turn 40 in a mere 10 years I swear if I hear anything disparaging of millennials from some 70 year old hag I'm going to teepee every tree at the old folks home.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. Turned on my coffee pot this morning, the light came on and nothing happened. It literally died with no warning. The previous owners had left a French press on the top shelf, tucked in the back, obviously overlooked. I had never used one or seen one used in my life. I grew up in a Mr. Coffee household. Now my grounds were out of a container. But to my amazement, this has to be one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. Thank You!!

    For dark Coffee: Use dark roast beans, or espresso, I use Starbucks or iLLY Italian beans, I grind them fine, i use One heaping tablespoon of coffee for Each 8 ounce cup of boiling water, and I let it brew for 4 Minutes exactly, let it go anymore and it's bitter, French Press coffee is the best, I learned this recipe in Europe 1994 Never went back to a drip pot . No Comparison to other pots. I use a DOUBLE Wall Glass French PRESS, NO METAL.

    It's an art. I have a cup first thing each morning. Boil water. Pre-heat the press. The key is to grind the coffee beans coarsely, let the coffee brew in hot water for 3-4 minutes before pressing it down. The aroma that emanates is as good as tasting the drink itself. With or without milk, your choice.

      @@JaneDoe-vi5yc "Bloom" means an extra step in the extraction process. Lets say you have your ground beans in the press, and a pot of hot water. You simply add a small amount of hot water to the beans, just barely covering the beans, and the water foams up on the beans and makes a nice froth. You let that sit like that for a minute or so. Then you pour in the rest of your water, and give it all a QUICK stir. Do not stir too much, or you will knock down all the froth. Let that all sit for 4 mins or so, then pour it into your cup GENTLY so you can preserve the froth. The froth is delicious. Thank me later.😁

    Instead of stirring I pump it 4-5 times and then return the plunger handle to the upright position, then push it down at the 4 (or 5) minute mark. It's supposed to cut some of the bitterness. I swear it tastes so much better when you do this.

    A "pour over" is better, and only a few seconds of clean up.
    The way I do it: I have two extra large mugs. I fill one 3/4 full of hot water. Two minutes in microwave and its boiling. Add a heaping tablespoon of grounds, stir come back a couple minutes later stir. Then put the "pour over" screen cone on empty mug which I do in sink in case any spills, let it run threw takes about 30 seconds. Rinse both strainer and 1st mug another 30 seconds. Then I add a bit of sugar, fill up mug the rest of way with hot tap water. The whole process including cleaning takes around 4 minutes. Same if not better quality as French press.
