We a have coffee house here locally that we get all of our coffee from. Fresh roasted, Guatemalan whole bean.
We always grind then do French press.
We used to use just a plain small glass press for years.
It was kind of a pain to press then have to pour it into some kind of insulated carafe to keep it from getting bitter and to stay hot.
Also, the glass one we used to use was small.
It was a 32 oz I believe which was too small for the wife and I together on the weekends.
We recently got the new Yeti large press and liked it so much we bought the small one also for single servings.
Yeah we are kinda coffee connoisseurs :D
