I have a French Press but don’t really use it that often.
I just can’t stand the sediment at the bottom so I used to also use a paper filter around the mesh one.
So the taste just isn’t all that different from drip.
I don’t like my coffee particularly strong so drip is fine for me. Altho I use an old fashioned Krups which gets the water hot enough to the optimum temp, unlike most modern ones.
I still use my French Press when I make cold-brewed coffee concentrate in warmer weather. It’s perfect for that.
But for regular everyday use, my little 4 cup Krups does the job nicely. Just the right size.
I’ve done a lot of research and reading about the best methods and equipment to get the best flavor possible from coffee beans.
In order to get the best flavor from a French Press, a Burr grinder is what’s needed to get consistent larger ground size.
I’d rather use the blade grinders and filters. And if doing that, then proper water temp is the critical factor.
So, my little old fashioned 4 cup Krups gets the job done nicely.
