good for French Press?

I "perk" my coffee. The coffee is a mild roast with a robust chocolate overlay flavor. I would imagine that a French press would yield a good mild pot of coffee. You shouldn't have an acidity or bitter taste.

Hi Kai, it should be. Although this is not my favorite Godiva flavor and we have stopped ordering it. It is a little "muddy" for my tastes. We have fallen in love with the caramel flavor! But the grind is fine and we use a Chemex or French Press, depending on the day.

I have not used it with my French Press but it is already ground and I think it work just fine. It's great coffee!

Yes, I've used both the French Press and the AeroPress. If you use the Stainless Steel Coffee Filter Disk ($15) for the AeroPress Coffee Maker, it doesn't filter out the tasty oils. The results are great!

The coffee should be very rich and full flavored. Use 2.2g per ounce of filtered water. The grind should be a bit finer than French press but slightly coarser than what would be used for drip

No. It is a full bodied dark coffee. I much prefer a good drip coffee maker where others like perk. Haven't tried it with a French Press yet. I usually add a little kosher salt and some (sterilized in the microwave) crushed egg shells to alter the ph.

We do not use it for fine grinds-- just coarser, as for French press coffee. We have a different grinder we like for fine grinding.

I just got a 12 cup french press and even grinding on the 8 setting for 12 cups and turning the selector all the way to the left doesn't seem to get the grind coarse enough. I get a lot of sludge in my cup and it's hard to press down the plunger.

Yes, that's what I use it for at times, or you can just use a paper coffee filter with it,run hot water through it and let the french press have a day off now and then

You will have some loose grounds because this is a metal (mesh) filter not paper and it only occurs if you use extremely finely ground coffee. We however, use beans and grind them ourselves leaving the result somewhat coarse. It will depend on the grounds you use. Otherwise, it's an awesome French press.

I personally would not use it as such. I always heat water in a regular pan and then transfer it to the french press. I do not want to take any chances of ruining my press. Not at all worth it in my opinion.

That depends on how fine you grind your coffee, and where you get your sand. Coarsely ground french press coffee would probably get caught for the most part, and most conventional sand would be slowed way down but not stopped. It sounds like a few layers of cheesecloth may serve you better.

Yes. This was a gift to my nephew who is sort of a coffee snob. He did a grind to use in a french press and he was pleased with it. He was then changing the setting to grind finer when I left so don't know about other grinds. He was impressed with the burr grinder.

We've used the French press for several months and have not ever had a problem of the coffee grounds getting into the coffee. It works much, much better than my previous French press. I would purchased this again, we like it that much.

This should work fine for a press type coffee/espresso maker. May take you a few cups to dial in the fineness of the grind for your press, but that should be all.

I doubt it makes a better coffee. But with the Frieling, you can choose the size. Most other steel french presses come in only one size. The key thing about the all-steel presses (regardless of brand) is their durability. You can travel with them or bring them camping. They never break.

It would depend on the trap mesh your French press uses. This espresso is grounds fine into a powder so if the mesh doesn't have very tiny holes some of the bean will mix with the water portion in the end product. Great idea though. I am a fan of the French press myself. Hope this helped.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I did research a "better' way to brew my coffee but besides a french press, which I also purchased from Bed and Bath I never found any info on the product you mentioned. The French press was pretty good also.

It will grind quite fine, though it takes a little time. I don't mind the grinding ritual; for me it builds anticipation and there's nothing like the aroma of freshly ground coffee. I like this well-made, high-quality German grinder that is designed to last. Setting the grind can be a bit fiddly for a French press, but it'll do a good uniform job. If you want a fast grind get a good electric grinder.
