Hopefully you never overfill that French press when you stir. A splash of 190 degree water in the wrong place probably wouldn't be any fun.

Buy a MokaPot knockoff for $10 instead of the French press to get closer to espresso for Starbies' lattes, respectively.

It's a different skillset requiring a different grind since modern pre-ground coffee is made for drip these days. I've definitely had decent percolated coffee back in the 80s. I wonder if there's a need for an ice bath like there is with Moka Pots if you don't want that burned taste.

A pourover cone is even cheaper. Both a French press and a pourover should be accompanied by a cheap carafe or even a Thermos to keep freshly brewed coffee hot (or warm).

No, because the expensive price hikes will not be paid to the farmers. It will still be the middle men raking in all the money just like with all other agricultural products.

I didn't care for the first episode, but the second one was the most peak American Karen 💩 I'd ever seen.
