Better coffee is back again. Hello,
My press was shelved for quite some time since I thought it was beyond my ability to repair it and yesterday I took it off shelf and all it took was to tighten a loose screw-all this time I had been using the cone for one cup coffee. Better coffee is back again.

I've been using one (not the same one mind you) for about 15 years now, and always Bodum. In the UK we called them сafetières, 'cause we're European ;-). The coffee always tastes a little stronger and there's nothing better than pushing down that plunger. I always warm the press with a little hot water before putting in the coffee grounds. I don't think it actual does anything, but its a habit I've developed. I love coffee made like this. I’ve been using one (not the same one mind you) for about 15 years now, and always Bodum.

We make french press coffee every morning. It's like the difference between Budweiser and Guinness: you may or may not care about the better quality, but if you do, you can't go back. The one you've got, with the plastic handle, can be filled with water and microwaved at a truck stop when you're on the road. Win! I do occasionally have to push hard on the plunger. It's usually because particles have become stuck in too many of the holes in the mesh. In that case, I grab the handle and pull it up a quarter inch or so. Then it goes down easier. We use a burr grinder instead of a blade grinder. It's supposed to provide a more uniform grind and less heating of the beans, but I haven't noticed a difference. And they're crazy expensive.
