the only thing bad about this way of making coffee is that it losses too much temperature during its preparing process. I only use my little bodum french press when there´s a blackout at home
To those who commented, this is just a general how to video. People who already know how to use a french press need not watch this, since you already know how. Firstly, I grind my own beans before making a cup (regardless of brew method). Some coffee drinkers don't have this luxury. I didn't always have a grinder. As such, I mostly had drip brew. I will say that her instructional mistake was saying to leave it longer to make stronger. I would say use more grounds. Keep the same brew time.
@Foseman Its more practical, what people typically grind their coffee with is not appropriate for use in a french press and results in having grinds in your coffee or clogging the filter. What they are actually using to grind their coffee most often is meant for use in a normal consumer grade drip coffee maker, not press. Meanwhile, store grinders can provide you the proper type of grind at a lower cost than most are willing to spend on a grinder capable of consistent coarse grinds.
@666NedFlanders first, screw Flanders. Second obviously the "average consumer" is not audience if the video title is the "perfect cup" and the perfect cup is NOT ground at the grocery store. Grounds are stale in 3 hours.
@TeacherEdward1 You are using the wrong grinds idiot. Read the instructions before you use a specialized piece of equipment. You must use a coarse ground coffee, which every coffee press will tell you to use as using normal grinds can cause clog the filter and lead to hot water gushing out the top or shattering the glass. There are warnings about this because normal grinds create a danger, coarse grinds, do not! Food for throught: ALWAYS READ THE DIRECTIONS ON ALL FOODS AND HOUSE HOLD GOODS.
@TeacherEdward1 ...and cigarettes cause cancer, alcohol causes liver damage, fast food is the leading cause to heart disease, and we breath in pollution everyday. What is your point. It taste god.
That's not nearly enough coffee. You'd get mighty weak coffee with her measurements. I use 3 1/2 rounded tablespoons of coffee for one large mug. Also you shouldn't use water that's fully boiling. It should be off the boil. Count to 10 and then pour the water over the coffee grounds. Then give the coffee a thorough stir for a full minute. Cardamom? You must be kidding. This is coffee honey, not tea.
@Tuberinio1949 but as you can see, she herself is perhaps Indian or middle eastern. They have cardamom flavored DEODORANT over there. They literally bathe in that stuff.
@jptrgoddess Why 'perhaps?' The presenter mentions her name at the beginning; she certainly is NOT Indian. She also mentions that it is middle-eastern recipe. So why the doubt?. By the way, in many parts of the world, coffee is flavoured with all kinds of spices just the way tea is. The lady speaks with an American accent so it shouldn't be that hard, even for Americans with low-intellect, to comprehend. Sigh..white American ignorance of the world at its best, as exemplified by you!
@guessingon12345 Generalizing all Americans as idiots does not help reverse such a thing. Perhaps she is a poorly informed chef. She did say she -sometimes- stirs the grinds. Bodum suggests you -always- stir the grinds...(I have a Bodum press... and unlike most... bothered to read the directions) I would think an international coffee company the works with both consumers and commercial markets would know how to make a cup of coffee to at least some extent.
@storebror21 I am American, and I am hearing this more and more (Especially with teenagers) It sounds like they are asking a question with every statement. It is irritating..even for Americans (US)

@correodejuanmartin After I make my french press I will pour it in to the pot on my drip coffee pot because it has a hot plate under it.

Cardomum flavoured coffee....??? Why not bay leaf or a dash of sage?
I thought this demo could have been done better. ( "I usually stir this") .
Is the gal still in business?
Bodum should advise her.

I guess BODUM is clueless as well, for having her demonstrate.

Does this company know that their demnostrating spokes lady said the word, "Um." 36 times in the course of 4 minutes?
"And I, um, want to, um, pour the, um, water into the part, um where the coffee is."
I feel bad for her, because she probably was very nervous and was perhaps really excited to do this but good god.
