If this Portland Hipster can make a "lovely floral French Press" by crushing the beans with a piece of obsidian stone, imagine what the Maoris could do with there green stone axes, would of been some mean as, cher, sweet as shots bro.
Aww, that’s no fair. I wrote the article – no one wanted to invite me to the party?
For the record: I stand by what I said. I’m not sure if you want a chemical breakdown (TDS relative to flavor or something?) or just want to try brewing a French Press with multiple grinders. In either case, do please “prove” me wrong.
Does someone want to try it to prove how much of a silly bugger he sounds?
No need. This dropkick's already proved it himself, well and truly:
Alrighty, let’s start simple and say you want to make a French Press… Guess what? Doesn’t matter what kind of grinder you use...FP’s can handle course, half-ass grinds. So long as the beans have been decently squished and soak in water with adequate levels of calcium for an appropriate amount of time; odds are you’ll end up with a fine French Press. Note: I am a coffee snob – I’m a Portland coffee hipster. Believe me when I tell you that I have crushed appropriately roasted beans with a slab of obsidian my friend grabbed from a quarry and produced a lovely floral French Press.
Update (1/05): Just to prove a point to myself, I put my money (or coffee beans) where my mouth was – quite literally. I begrudgingly chewed up about 19 grams of good beans and spit them into a filter just to see if it could make decent tasting pour-over. It was great! I secretly had two other people try it and they enjoyed my cud-coffee as well. Either my digestive enzymes taste delicious or we’re all just pretentious little tarts pretending fancy grinders make coffee better.
