Review on Highwin 8-Cup/34-Ounce Double Wall Insulated Stainless Steel French Press Coffee Maker, Robust Coffee Tea Brewer with Stainless Steel Plunger (Graphite Gray) by Jeho Odor

Looks like a good French press; Double insulated jug retains heat well. The yield is about 2.5 cups if you fill directly under the spout. I use about 54 grams of coffee for every 30 ounces of water from my kettle; the water temperature is about 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Before I grind my coffee, I fill the French Press with some hot water to preheat it. The brewing steps for a French Press differ from other methods. This is the immersion method.1. To grind coffee; a bit harsh, but not as harsh as a pourover or perculator. You really need a burr grinder - these rotating blade grinders give you a lot of fines - and they end up in your coffee cup that you won't like, or make your coffee taste more bitter. .2. Pour some hot water into the coffee in the press. Let it sit for a minute or so.3. Fill the press to about half an inch below the spout. Use a spoon or bamboo stick to stir the coffee. (Tom at Sweet Maria's suggests rotating the press in a cyclonic motion with the lid closed - I do.) Let it "brew" for four minutes. Slowly push the plunger, making sure it stays aligned. I have never had such resistance as with the Aeropress. When you reach the bottom, you can pour coffee.6. Part of the underside of the lid is curved; This is the section you'll line up with the spout when you're ready to pour. You may need to experiment with grind size, brewing time, etc. But it's a fun belly that's not too big. At a setting around 24 I get no sediment. If I grind finer, like 16, a sediment forms in the last cup, so the coffee is filtered perfectly. I'm deducting one star in this review because the seller I bought it from didn't provide an instruction manual. I'd like to thank a few other reviewers who explained how to remove the filter from the flask should it ever be needed in the future (it's unscrewable). I hope this review is helpful.
