Review on Primula TCP 2908 Coffee Press Plastic by James Sevenfourgd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Road to a Great Cup of Coffee

Use the Primula Coffee French Press (TCP-2908) when you need a fresh, rich cup of coffee. The advantage of a French Press is that you can control a few factors of how coffee is made: temperature, brewing time, grind size, etc. How to make coffee. Use a coarse grind for a French press. You can use a finer grind, but some of the grind will wear out, requiring a coarse grind. Put in hot water (200 degrees is ideal) and let steep for 4 minutes (more or less). The piston itself does not withstand much pressure. The sieve is pressed into the mixture, separating the ground coffee from the drinkable coffee. Pour your coffee and enjoy. This model has only one filter for ground coffee. That means ground coffee and coffee residue will seep in, so you might not want to drink the whole cup. On the other hand, this means that you get the full coffee taste: a delicious surprise. If you need fewer solids, you can purchase a paper filter that will cut the coffee grounds and some of the oils from the coffee (still let some residue through). It changes the taste and depends on how you like your coffee. (Some French presses come with two filters per press, although you'll still end up with residue—just less ground coffee.) A French press can be hand washed or in the dishwasher. Glass and parts attached to it are not dismantled. If you want to brew a cup of coffee the way you want it, this French Press could be the answer.
