try 8 oclock columbianI'm looking for a new coffee to try.
Any suggestions?
I am thinkin about getting one. Never tried anything brewed in a French Press...what is the difference? My fresh ground seems like it is gettin weak and my tongue is hurtin for something new. BUT...NO FOO FOO juice...just straight coffee...Columbian...bean...grind. What does a FP do the percolarors and drippers dont?I need to stop drinking as much as I do. Does the half calf taste the same?
I'm actually getting a French Press this evening. Target has a Bodum on sale I liked, I knew if I waited till after the holidays I would be able to find something cheap.
Atsa Bigga differance.About the biggest difference is they us a courser ground coffee than preks or drippers.
Also they are an ITALIAN INVENTION...Not french....Go Figure......![]()
The beans didn't like it much when I threw a handfull into the water.Are you sure you didnt get ahold of some "Civet Coffee"

Does your coffee get bigger as you chew it like a chicken gizzard does?Coffee lover ? Not really , a couple cups in the am to get me going , but you wouldn't like my interpretation of "coffee" lol
2 heaping tsps instant coffee , fill cup just past 1/2 way with hot water , 1/2 the rest of the way with sugar , finish with milk. Looks like regular coffee lol.
Just like starting out shooting career with a 22...ya gotta start somewhere.My youngest son uses a coffee press and grinds his own beans.
As for me, I don't know if I should admit this in this thread. I don't own a coffee pot of any sort and just drink instant coffee when I want a cup.![]()
Doesnt matter what ya start with, just git started. I used to drink 2 heaping tsp of folgers instant in a regular table/dinner cup...not a mug. Now I am using a french press. Unique way to brew weak coffee. Seems like I am going backwards. Anyone else use one? What size grind and how much coffee to use. Those are the questions.Well, I started my shooting 'career' with a GP100 .357 magnum revolver. Try explaining that. My .22 was my second gun.
The press is very nice. It's quick, convenient, doesn't take up a lot of room.
Austin,I really like Rut Maya medium roast. Don't do their dark, it has a tendency to taste charred.
Well, I have no idea what a HEB is but I do notice more flavors even in a weaker brew. 2 scoops has excellent flavor but 3 knocks my tastebuds for a loop...and that's good. It is a totally different flavor...almost spelled it flavour.You can find it in most HEB's around town.
It's expensive because they sell it kilo bags. Pound per pound it's about right.
Now for the connoisseur issues, you may surprise yourself. Moving to a press allows a higher complexity of flavors and you may start finding things you didn't know where there.
I haven't seen HEB anywhere. But only because I wasn't looking. I searched and found many HEB references. Could you find a link and send it to me so I know whuzzup?I'm sorry I thought HEB was all over the state. It's a super market.
I'm glad you're enjoying your press! Mine was one of the better investments in terms of coffee gear I've ever bought.
Thanks for the link. It is the same one I found but didn't know if that was what you were talkin about.Here's a link.

I use one tablespoon per cup. It makes a robust cup.
I've been sipping on a red eye all morning. 2 shots of espresso in 12 ounces of drip. Had a long night. Have to keep moving.
I like the 100% Columbian. It has much better flavor than regular. I started drinking the Columbian 10 years ago and never looked back. Even the cheap dollar general Columbian tastes better than most regular roast. I think I will order some from some online shops. For some reason I have become curious about the different companies blends. And just when I ran out of money...go figure, huh?Chase & Sanborn ,A&P Coffee
Eight O'Clock Coffee is the brand name of the light roast of coffee introduced by the American supermarket chain A&P in 1859. In 1919, the roast was renamed and given its current trademark.[1] The company supposedly derived the name by conducting a survey asking people what time of day they drank coffee most. The majority of those surveyed reported that they typically drank coffee at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., which is why company went with the name "Eight O'Clock Coffee."[1]
I have a 30 cup percolator and I did use a 10 cupper. I like perked coffee but I do not like grounds in the bottom of the pot. I could not find the proper filters for the 30 cup and after awhile I decided to just go to the drip coffeemakers which use the filters I used to cut a hole in to fit the percolator. Now I use a drip coffeemaker as well as a French Press. By far the French Press makes the best tasting coffee. However, the drip maker uses the least amount of coffee which saves money. I alternate between the two. I grind my own beans too which really makes a difference.Does anyone here make their coffee in a percolator? I was thinking of getting one but no one seems to use them anymore and I'm wondering why. Maybe you all know something I don't know?
I just filter it if it needs it and then there's no aftertaste...or eggshells.A drop of Vinegar will separate them grounds
