1:13 "A Fine French Press grind"??? What do you mean by this? French Press grind is suppose to be very course. Or do you mean a Course grind, but not too course?

I liked this demonstration.Seemed to me that the extraction was a little slow compared to the hario v60.I wonder how this affects the brew if it makes a difference or not.

@tzsweeney It is a bit slow, but I think the resulting cup is better. If I could slow a V60 down to 3-4 minutes, I would! As is, my average for v60 is 2 minutes, which means I have to make the grinds finer in a v60 and overdose a bit. Ideally that wouldn't be necessary, IMO - Tom

A range of grinds is acceptable for French Press - I would use one on the finer side of the range. So medium/coarse? It is sort of a matter of judgement - not a rule. You need to use the feedback of how the coffee brews (i.e. how the water flows or pools in the grinds) and the flavor to adjust the grind. It might take some trial and error.

Have you tried the Kone metal filter for the chemex? I think that might eliminate the problems with paper including the seaming you mention. Plus it would likely help retain heat because metal is a much better conducter. I find that with my teapot, the tea stays hotter longer if I keep my stainless steel filter in it.

Sorry to have missed this - I did not like the Kone metal filter - I tried it and did not like it.

The crust or foam in drip brewing will form or not form based on the properties of the coffee itself.
