This is a coffee community, not an espresso community. Here's my evil drip brew machine and morning abomination (lemmy.world)

I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.

You can absolutely use a paper filter in a french press. Just grab a pack of basket filters, they fit most FP sizes pretty well. It makes a far better cup.

    Really good to know! I’ve never seen one made that way. I wonder if filters for a percolator pot would work as well.

    These kind work great:

    This is how it should look:

    Note, neither picture is mine, I shameless stole them from the internet.

    Check out the French press section in my coffee brewing guide for more details.

    Dude this is genius. We kicked the French press years ago in favor for ChemX due to GERD concerns and never really looked back. I genuinely enjoy the pour over process but nice to know about the French press.
