[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you get good results with drip-grind (finer than French press grind) coffee in a French press? Drip grind is the most commonly available off-the-shelf. Some supermarkets sell whole beans and have a self-service grinder, but who knows how often those are cleaned. I'm the PP who suggested good instant coffee.[/quote]

Yes. A French press is remarkably simple and easy…  I use one scoop / rounded tablespoon per cup. For an 8-cup French press, I pour roughly the amount of beans that fits in a Krup’s grinder (1/2 cup) in, grind it and pour that whole amount in the French press. I let it steep maybe two minutes. (I used to do the five minute thing but then I read that it doesn’t actually require that and is a common misunderstanding) cleanup is less than one minute. Dump grounds, rinse glass pitcher, remove metal screening elements from plunger, rinse, put in dishwasher.  Washing each piece carefully by hand is two minutes.

To me the most inconvenient thing about a French press is that it requires a kettle or other means of heating up the water. Hopefully OP is a tea drinker already. [/quote]

Sorry I meant to add that a French press makes great of not good coffee with really any grind, including espresso. IFYKYK[/quote]
