An instant success, the Young Press has brought out the “kid” in many coffee lovers. Originally designed to add a younger, “hip” look to the Bodum assortment of coffee makers, the Young Press has stolen the hearts of coffee lovers from all age groups. The design is unique. We have taken our durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and surrounded it with a santoprene (similar to a rubber or hard wetsuit type feel) frame. The frame has built in polycarbonate windows so that you can still see the brewing process.

When using a french press coffee maker, what kind of coffee should be used?
Is it possible to use the same coffee (in a french press coffee maker) as I use for a "drip brew" coffee machine?
yes, the size of grind is the same. Get the best you can afford with the strength of roast you like. Never get vacuum packed stuff, it sucks the volatile oils out of the coffee
Is coffee made in a french press stronger than a regular coffee maker? ?
I bought a french press coffee maker, and poured some coffee in, and made some. I got VERY dizzy for hours. Any any take on that? It was Starbucks brand coffee. I am do not drink coffee that often, I am caffeine sensitive if I haven't had coffee in a while.
yes because the coffee steeps in the hot water for much longer than a regular drip coffee maker. I think a lot of people would like to get dizzy from coffee as you did.
I need to replace a glass carafe for a french press coffee maker. I want it to fit Bodum of Starbucks?
Someone gave me a starbucks french press & I love it. But I dropped it & the glass carafe broke. So I bought the bodum & the carafe would fit into Starbucks so when my friend came over, shoe wouln't have to know i broke her gift. But my boyfriend broke the new carafe!
I was hoping to by TWO new carafes, not only for back up in case one of us gets clumsy again, but also so I can make more coffee more quickly when we have a lot of company over.
Any suggestions on where to look? Especially for a bargain!
Thanks!
you can always check at other coffeeshops. some sell the brand BODUM. or you can check the houseware section of the department store.
French press coffee maker in comparison to ordinary?
I'm looking to purchase a coffee pot for my upcoming apartment. As an avid coffee drinker and a bargain shopper, I'm looking into everything. I had a friend recommend a french press as well as some other brand name appliances. What are the differences and similarities to having a french press? What other things do I need to purchase along with a press and how does the coffee compare to ordinary pot making coffee?? Thanks!
some people say that coffee from a french press is much more flavorful, and I agree with them. The way it works is that the coffee grounds "steep" in hot water longer and you get much more flavor from the coffee grounds. A regular coffee maker works with dripping hot water "through" the coffee grounds. A lot of people like this method also. It's also very convenient for making a lot of coffee. The cons on making coffee with a french press is that you need coarse ground coffee. All preground stuff is made for regular coffee makers. Also, it's a hassle to clean a french press. Also, you can't make large quantities of coffee with a french press, unlike a coffee maker. If I were you, I would find a french press at a thrift store since they always have used ones for cheap there. Try it out and decide. edit: youtube has great vids on how to use a French press.
