s once a time when it was the ants pants in brewing a great cup of coffee but technology has seen the introduction of quick, automated machines which will spew out a cup of "Joe" in no time flat.

Why would you go to the trouble of using a coffee press when at the push of a button, a trnasformer type machine will virtually hand you a cup of coffee in the blink of an eye?

Why?

Because the coffee press is still a hard gadget to beat when it comes to producing great tasting coffee. You know, it's been around since the late 19th. century and has never really lost it's appeal among "true blue" coffee lovers. Aroma rich coffee is the name of the game for those of us who appreciate the great taste of the "black liquid stuff" and the coffee press rarely lets us down.

Understanding How A Coffee Press Works

The amazing aspect of a press is it's simplicity. There is nothing complicated about the workings of a coffee press. To be more accurate: A coffee press looks like a carafe, and it features a press, which is a piston-like rod, connected to a cylindrical-shaped filter.

The press passes through the center of the carafe and voila... great tasting coffee. Here is a crash course in operating a coffee press:

1. Grind your coffee beans

2. For best results, try giving them a coarse finish. The reason for this is because you want maintain the flavor as hot water is poured over them.

3. Place the ground beans in the filter and let the filter hang around in the middle of the carafe.

4. Next step is to boil fresh water and by lifting the handle, simply pour the the water and then it's time to commence the press. This is done by pressing the piston-style handle.

5. That's it. Simple. The hot water and the ground beans will combine to extract unwanted substances filtering out rich tasting coffee.

Disadvantages And Advantages

The obvious advantage using a coffee press is you will rarely be let down taste wise. Also, a press is virtually a self-contained unit so no extras such as paper filters are needed.

Those who don't regularly use a press may complain about sediment left in the cup while others will point out a coffee produced this way will not retain it's flavor as long as other methods. That's open to debate.

Bottom line is, a real coffee lover won't mind trying different methods of brewing a cup. The coffee press is a great alternative to have in the home to the now more conventional methods of brewing.

how long can i store whole coffee beans in their original packaged condition?

If they are unopened than you can store them for about a month. The worst thing for coffee beans though is moisture, so keep them in a dry place at room temperature.

Does a french coffee press make a great deal of difference in the taste, or I should say, ?30 dollars worth?

I'm thinking of getting one for Christmas, but I hesitate if it's just going to taste like another cup of coffee. Also, how many seconds do you count for the perfect grind size(home grinder) for said press?

To me, a French Press is the best way to brew coffee. It is so much smoother, and the coffee never tastes burnt. Also, buying a French Press isn't exactly like buying a coffee maker....expensive ones don't really make that much of a difference. I bought one for $10 and it makes great coffee. Even though filters are not really expensive, you will never have to worry about buying them again! Plus, there is much less of a mess to worry about.

I can't help you with how many seconds you need to hold the grind for, but do know that you are going to want to grind it as coarse as you can. Fine grounds will leave sediment in the coffee and you will have one nasty cup of coffee. Do not grind your coffee as long as you would for your pot you use now.

It would be nice to be able to travel with a one cup coffee maker in one's suitcase or backpack.

The trouble is, machines like the Keurig and Senseo are way too big to fit in even the biggest suitcase.

But it's a nice idea.

At hotels and motels, if you're lucky, you'll get one sachet of coffee to use in the in-room coffee maker.

Failing that, you'll have to go down to the lobby for a coffee, or down the street even.

Fortunately there are a couple of different ways in which you can travel with your own coffee maker. Best of all, both options will fit easily in your backpack.

All you need is the brewer, a small bag of ground coffee and maybe some sugar and long-life creamer.

Your first option is to use a French Press Travel Mug . You simply scoop the ground coffee into the mug, add near-boiling water, put the lid on and, about three or four minutes later, press down the plunger on the lid.

It's that simple. You can then add sugar and cream if you want.

The second option is to get yourself a Bistro Mug Coffee Press by Bodum. It's a rather neat variation on the French Press theme.

Instead of including a travel mug as part of the package, you can use the Bistro Mug Coffee Press with any mug.

Either way, these presses are small enough to fit in your hand luggage or the glove compartment of your car.

So next time you want to travel with a one cup coffee maker, don't despair.

Where can I buy a Saeco Aroma Espresso Machine in U.K. ?

Hi, I would like to buy a Saeco Aroma Espresso Machine (preferably 00347, Black) for less than £150 ($300). I live in the U.K. and am finding it hard to find any websites based in the U.K. or U.S. based websites that ship to UK. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Unfotunately, none of those machines ship internationally for under £150. And Amazon does not seem to ship the Aroma internationally either

Try looking on E-Bay or E-Bay Express. There are many sellers that will ship outside of the U.S. (I do). Below are links to my keyword search "Saeco Aroma Expresso Machine". Good luck!

It's been around since the late 1800's but really coming into it's own in the early 1900's, the coffee press is a hot coffee brewing device that at first glance looks very simplistic but brews a cup of coffee like no other. Ask any coffee enthusiast about a coffee press pot and chances are you're in for a chat that will last longer then just a minute or two. It's the ultimate brewer to create a fabulous smelling, aroma rich, wonderful flavored, coffee.

How Does A Coffee Press Work?

A coffee press, as mentioned looks like a very simple device, basically like a coffee maker carafe with a rod down the center connected to a round filter. The filter via the rod can be moved from the top to the bottom of the glass carafe, this allows you to separate the coffee grounds from the water.

So how does it actually work? Coffee beans are first ground very coarse, they need to be more coarse then you would use in a drip coffee machine so that when the boiling water is poured over them the water can absorb the flavor, aroma, and acids from the beans. Water is boiled and poured over the grounds with the plunger filter out. The filter is replaced inside the carafe, the rod is pushed downwards into the carafe to separate the grounds form the water, leaving you with a aroma rich pot of coffee.

Pros and Cons of a Coffee Press

Of course any device has it's pros and cons, a coffee press is no different. A die hard coffee fan will surely appreciate the rich flavor textured coffee it produces. Not to mention it doesn't require any paper filters. Of course there is a downside, coffee from a press should be drank almost immediately to really take advantage of the flavor, also there can be some sediment left at the bottom of your cub due to the coarse grounds that are used. Some believe that the sediment that is left can cause your cup to go bitter.

All in all a coffee press is the original way to make a cup of coffee. While things have changed greatly due to technology, it's still a standard for many. Of course an electric machine is faster and easier to use, it doesn't produce the same exquisite taste found from a press. For those that are looking for a time saving option in the morning for their coffee, stick with your auto drip machine, but if you're looking for that all natural wonderfully brewed cup of joe consider a press, even if it's just for the weekends.

between a french press and a conventional coffee maker, which one has an easier cleanup? which one is more?

easy to clean up after using on a daily basis? does anyone know? i need someone's opinion on this. would a commercial coffee maker like the bunn brand beat out a french press as far as overall quality like water temperature and taste for a rich and strong cup of coffee?

Wow, talk about your loaded questions...
There are many many people that will definitely state that a french press beats a Bunn for taste. I do not know how you would ever rate a French Press water temp vs a Bunn that actually has a heater in it.

Ok, so... French press is basically a container with a wire mesh plunger that you push down and separate the coffee from the grounds. Water temp would be strictly up to you.

As far as cleaning, the French Press is just a container and a wire mesh plunger. Simple rinse out could suffice if you don't care about spots. There again, the Bunn is a rinse out (pot) and a dump (filter and grinds) although every 6 months (or less with hard water) you would have to flush and decalcify the machine where the french press you would not.

Now on to the other part of your question... Strength of brew.
With the Bunn (excellent machine I may add) the tem p is controlled nicely BUT the water flows through the grinds and each portion of water only touches the grinds for a small period of time. With the French Press the grinds are floating in the water for the whole period of time allowing each portion of water to absorb the flavor from each and every ground. While the Bunn makes one of the best tasting DRIP coffees, by simple design of a drip machine it cannot hope to extract as much flavor as a French Press.

My suggestion is to actually BUY a French Press ($15 at Target) and then do a taste test comparison side by side with a Bunn. Same beans, grind, etc... and see what YOU think, because that is ultimately the person you have to please.
Don't forget to keep the receipt in case you don't like French Press,

How do I use a coffee press?

I got one at a gift exchange party, but it doesn't have any directions. Can anyone walk me through how to make a great cup of coffee with this?

Heat your water to just about boiling temperature.
Place ground coffee in pot... about 1 Tbsp. per cup to be brewed.
Pour hot water over coffee grounds.
Put the lid back on the french press, leaving the plunger up.
Leave the coffee to steep until desired strength is reached (several minutes).
Slowly, press down the plunger, straining out the coffee grounds.
Serve and enjoy.

Even after you've pressed down the plunger, your coffee will continue to grow stronger. If you let it sit too long in the pot, it will get bitter. Serve immediately.

Choosing a coffee machine does not just correspond to the specifications and budget to meet your requirements. It is also important to match your personality to the coffee machine.

The first thing you should consider if you want to buy a coffee machine is that it has to look good. Yes, it has to look good! First thing in the morning when you wake up, you are going to spend it to your best buddy- your coffee machine. If you want to start your day right, beautiful to your eyesight can add up in making your day. It's just like buying any appliance or furniture, where the over-all looks matter.

It is also important to know if you want your coffee machine to be automatic or manual. To be able for you to make a decision, let me give you the difference of the two. An automatic coffee machine already includes a grinder that grinds the coffee beans and dispenses an espresso or long black for you. Other automatic coffee machines can also froth your milk. There are many advantages if you choose automatic such as:

o The coffee is always the same. Just set the grind setting and temperature and you'll have the same coffee every time.
o It's quicker, you just have to press the button and voila- your coffee is done
o There's no mess for you are not filling the filter handle with ground coffee, leaving you less chances of spillage. Everything is held neatly inside the coffee machine.
o If there's any auto frothing feature, you're not messing about with milk jugs trying to get nice silky foam on your milk, everything is done for you.

Now, doesn't that sound perfect? On the other hand, manual coffee machines allow you to play with more setting. How hard you tamp the ground coffee allows for subtly different flavors. Different ground settings on the separate grinder allow you to tweak the flow rates. You can froth for cappuccino or latte. You can make three different coffees with different bags of ground coffee. This is why caffeine lovers hate to see an automatic coffee machine for they can't have other flavors they also love.

The deciding factor whether you choose the automatic or the manual coffee machines depends only to one question: are you a coffee drinker or a coffee maker? If you can't let go of your lifetime favorite coffee, choose the automatic. But, if you like to try something else, have the manual. But, if you like to try other flavors and still can turn away from your favorite, you can have both! That way, you can enjoy every cup of coffee you make without thinking you could have something else. Are we clear?

What does a mate tea cup look like and where can I get one?

My bf's a huge mate tea drinker and he finally found some where we live, but insists on drinking it in a mate cup..?

Mate cups look like gourds and are called cuias. A convenient place to buy them is online at teavana.com or at a teavana retail store. You should also buy a bombilla (mate straw) to go along with it.

Using a coffee press or machine is not the traditional way of preparing it. You can read about the traditional way of preparing it here:

Does the Starbucks Sumatra blend work well in a coffee press?

I'm curious if the Sumatra blend is ground too fine for a coffee press. I am looking to purchase the Bodum Chambord coffee press.

I would suggest buying it whole bean (un-ground) and buying a cheap bean grinder, that way you can control the grind, experiment. If you are buying it at a Starbucks, ask them to grind it for "drip" works fine in a press, you don't want an espresso grind.

How many tablespoons of coffee in a 1 litre French coffee press?

The general rule of thumb is 1 or 2 tablespoons for every 6 ounces of liquid.... For example, if you use 1/2 liter of water (17 ounces), you'll need 3 tablespoons to 6 tablespoons. It all depends upon how strong you like your coffee.

Another thing you can do is look on the package of your coffee. The package should has some suggested amounts too.
