A few years ago I aquired a french press, and have been using it exclusivly since. The problem is that now I have taste inflation. I tried to drink perc coffee at a friend house, and did a spit take. I have even started to travel with it. Is drinking unfilterd coffee unhealthy?
yes some have called me an animal for liking Instant coffee..but having lived in Russia for long time before..The bourgeois coffee like Starcrap was not available.....only humble Nescafe. So next time you drink your Fench press coffee...Remember most of the world drinks Nescafe and other instant coffees......

The problem in the US is that everybody wants, but they don't make demands for quality.

Either way, it does make a wonderful cup of coffee. Add a little whip cream on top and it is HEAVEN!

Same experience, once I went french press I'll never go back.
There definitely is a 1-way path to coffee snobbery though, I used to drink the freeze dried stuff they have for free at work, with no complaint. But now I can't choke it down if you paid me. My officemate and I make french press daily.
