Press Coffee - Other Cool Coffee Things

• Use good quality coffee, freshly roasted and freshly ground


• Use fresh, clean, cold water. Filtered or bottled water works well, but avoid distilled or softened water.


• The grind chosen must be of the correct fineness for the chosen brewing method.


• The post must be cleand and warm


• Make only enough coffee for your immediate needs. The coffee will deteriorate if you keep it too long. Avoid reheating coffee, it just doesn't taste the same.


• Avoid boiling brewed coffee - it is a sure way to spoil the coffee.


• Use approximately 70 grams of coffee per litre of water.

Krups 203 Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder with Stainless-Steel blades

This grinder is perfect for anybody with a coffee maker that uses #4 paper CONE filters (or slightly bigger or smaller). I emphasize PAPER because a permanent filter is not good for this grinder. Like any blade grinder, it will produce some dust. That creeps through the permafilter and into your pot is makes sludge. It sloppies up your coffee. Nothing gets through paper filters though.
