I love my Bodum French press - I never knew coffee could taste so good w/out cream and sugar and not cause searing heartburn.

I've been making my coffee cowboy style for many many years. I also own this bodum and here's how I believe it should be done... simplified. I like my coffee black and strong... add 30g fresh ground or 5 heaping tbsp commercial ground and dump all the water in, stir for ~15 seconds cover with tea plate and let sit for a bit, stir for ~5 seconds cover and let sit for a bit, stir for ~5 seconds and either plunge if you're in a hurry or let sit another moment to let the grounds settle on the bottom. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes and utilizes all the coffee goodness, no wasted crust on the top.

The Bodum French press is well made & the filter press can easily be disassembled & cleaned.

He put 120ml of water in for two scoops of coffee(which would be for two cups) so the coffee cups he's using are 1/4 of a cup because isn't 120ml of water 1/2 cup?

[JasonRasmussen]

1:20 92-96 degree water? I think that's a typo.

Turn the microphone volume up you boneheads

These instructions, predicated on the idea that a cup of coffee is 120ml, resulted in less than a full cup of lukewarm coffee. In truth a cup of coffee is closer to 250ml, and obviously you can’t let the boiled water sit out for four minutes and cool off while the grounds “settle” or whatever — all of which I had to learn the hard way. This should be taken down
