I thought I would have a go at cold press.
I used a one Litre french press (plunger).
Put some fresh grinds in (Rocky set on 20, normally 4-6 for espresso). Added cold filtered water. Didnt stir. Put in fridge for about 12 hours (covered). Slowly pressed down (about one minute). Bottled it up and took to work.
I used it to make some iced soy coffee (my body doest deal too well with dairy esp milk and yoghut).
Liked it.
Yesterday put some CP into a cup and nuked it. I really like it. Much prefer an espresso but prefered it over what I get out of my syphon.
Seems the easiest way to get good coffee at work.
The automatic coffee vending machine at work uses old old beans. Its idea of a "short black" is 100mls of liquid, extracted over 3 seconds, that looks like the city yarra river water.
The coffee van that comes around produces stuff that looks like coffee and tastes like battery acid. I put five sugars in 30mls of "coffee". Still too acidic.
I stop whining now. Sorry about that. ;D
My question/s is;
Now that I intend to have 1-2 cups a day at work, is it worth buying a Toddy or something similar?
Has someone tried both (plunger and the Toddy or other method) and can tell the difference?
Will slow dripping instead of pressing make a difference?
Thanks
