French press is my morning go to. I generally follow James Hoffman’s method. Boiling hot water, stir for the first couple of minutes, and then let it sit for as long as you can patiently wait to let the fines settle. For me this is 3, 4 minutes max. My total brew time is 6-7 minutes. He recommends like 7-8 minutes rest for a total brew time of about 9-10 minutes.
If I’m just itching for an extra cup, I have a pour over I use.
The flavor difference between brew methods is always interesting. If I had to pick, I’d say the full mouthfeel of French press is my preference, but I’m glad I have both options.
I used to have a nice 15 bar espresso maker but I found I just didn’t use it enough to justify the counter space it took up.
Hard to go wrong with a classic French press, I do love a full body that they give over a pour over
