Most people do not mention how they like the taste of the coffee. That information would be welcome.

I had the coffee for the frist time at my son and daughter in -laws in Oregon. I loved the coffee. I don't drink coffee very often any more because it seamed so strong and bitter. The coffee from the french press was sooooo gooddddd. I love it I want to buy one now. Sue

I have mentioned in my review that the flavor of this coffee is some of the best ever and it is smooth and flavorful. Buy this coffee maker now.

The flavor is dependent on both the coffee and the water. Realize that you are only extracting flavor by immersing the ground coffee in hot water. Once you plunge the press, the majority of the extraction ends. If you begin with a good, quality coffee bean, freshly ground to French press size particles and steep it in low quality water, you will still have an inferior cup of coffee. If you have to ask what inferior water is, you probably haven't been somewhere where the water is soften so much that it has a salty, disagreeable taste. If you really like your tap water flavor, it'll probably be fine for coffee. The flavor is dependent on both the coffee and the water.

Also, in answer to some questions, it has no metallic taste at all as far as I can detect.

I really don't think that is dependent completely of the kind of french press but more on the quality of coffee and the technique you use. The only thing I can add is that compared to aluminum vessels ( ie the espresso maker that I have) with this SS material there is no residue of old coffee left and if you clean it properly it remains spotless. I watched the technique the Alton Brown used (he has a video on the food network) I also grind my coffee with a burr grinder and use high quality coffee. As you can see, I'm serious about the quality of coffee and all I can say is that no coffee in the local places compares to what I get with this french press. I can also compare it to one I had from another brand, material was glass and aluminum and this one is much better quality and keeps the coffee warm. Hope it helps

The coffee is great. I don't know if you're accustomed to French press coffee - but in case you're not, it is rich and bold, yet without any of the bitterness that you get from drip coffee. I can drink lots of it and it never upsets my stomach (personally). However, I don't notice a difference between THIS press and a less-expensive press. It is as good, as far as I can tell.

The taste is very good, one of the best I've had anywhere and I travel across the US and internationally for work. I use Sumatra beans which contain some of the least amount of acid. In addition to the Freiling I use the Kyocera ceramic grinder which you can control your grind size as well.

There seems, to me, to be a smoother taste to the coffee. Someone said the oils are not absorbed by the coffee filter so more taste is actually in the coffee. I believe it. We do not buy the most expensive coffe but it tastes better in the french press than an regular coffee maker.

hm-m-m, I believe there is a difference between the two in taste. But we've never tried to brew Starbucks espresso at home, so it's unfair to compare if prepared in different machines.

You know! Good question. I'm not sure but I really enjoy this coffee. I have had super great coffee and this one is right up there on my list of coffee to recommend to people. Super smooth (not acidic) but losses a little flavor if you don't drink it in the fresh timeline.

Thank you very much for the help! I meant nothing about men in general but this particular guy is finicky about such things and anything like a noise that drew attention would be a turn-off for him. I bought the cup with your input and I hope he loves it. It sounds like any coffee drinker would. Thanks guys!

It's my understanding that it brews better but harder to use since the coffee squirts everywhere. I like it because I can place my cup directly underneath for a better brew, more crema. I will admit that I use it rarely, but have used it.

They are pretty good, not very hot but not luke warm. Should be drunken immediately. The full cup of coffee is pretty good. I always stick to dark roast myself. The latte's aren't worth it. Just powdered milk and it tastes it.

There is; I don't really use it since I figure the fact that not all the coffee had brewed, the flavor is probably compromised, so I can't speak to how well it works.

The lack of a coffee brew function is most likely a decision by Keurig marketing. If they made an all brew capable unit on this platform it would probably savage sales from the coffee making models. I am guessing that they think that anyone who would pony up for this latte and espresso unit is really into coffee and all of its variants. They would most likely also own a dedicated Keurig coffee only maker. Two unit sales.

It's VERY variable depending on the size of the Serving, how strong you make your coffee, etc... Plus, since the Espressos are done one (or two) at a time, it's somewhat irrelevant anyway.

Yes. It took me a while to find it on their site. They don't seem proud of it. I'll have to rethink my choice of beverage.

This party must be one that likes a strong and that only think I can say about that, I had a brother-in-law that I couldn't drink the coffee he mad without watering it down. We all have choices to our tastes.\

I do not know. I keep my coffee in the refrigerator and have not yet experienced any loss of flavor.

How would consumers know the answer unless they got their hands on a press release from Nespresso. Anyone think of asking them? I find if I use a hot cup then I don't have a problem with the temperature of the brew.

I did not detect any taste like coffee. My son and wife like the hot cocoa, and neither of them complained about a coffee taste. They don't drink coffee.
