Thank you! I moved to New Zealand where all they drink is press coffee. Hopefully tomorrow's pot won't suck as badly after watching your video :)

I thought you were suppose to spoon off most of the coffee grinds before you press
Coffee Plus Water
Oh that's interesting, hadn't really heard of that before. I'd say you could and it definitely makes sense to remove the grinds to reduce overextraction. The only thing is that it might get a bit messy spooning it out. I would personally just press with the grinds in the French press then pour it out to another pitcher/carafe.
