Reddit mentions of French Press Chrome & Black (Chrome)

I'm a mild coffee snob. So what is key: filtered water, temperature and grinding the beans the moment you make it. Straight tap is okay but check your municipality on how they process the water. If they put add weird stuff to reprocess... don't use. I can taste that stuff and then it makes my coffee taste sad, lol. So if not filtered at home then store bought.

I also use a french press. To get the full taste of coffee you don't want to use a coffee filter. The filter pulls some of the nom nom oils from the coffee. Also, more oils means more caffeine in your system. :)

But I had one of those master baristas tell me that they only keep their coffee (once bag is opened) for a week. Gawh! If I tossed out my coffee every week...nope I don't drink coffee that fast and not gonna waste money like that.

I prefer mostly dark roasts. But the most memorable cup of coffee I made for myself was one I bought from a local store and it was an Organic Italian Dark roast. OMG, that was just superb! So I recommend supporting your local stores.

Therefore, get a hand grinder and french press. Also, this may seem like a lot of work but it's a five to seven minute process and really I love it. Once I did it, I gave away my Breville Coffee maker and have never purchased another one since.

I love coffee!

I don't lose any ABV in the water. I generally water cure it in a french press kind of like this. When I pour out the water, the mesh prevents the ABV from going with it. This is not exactly related to water curing, but I also use a french press to separate the used up cannabis from the liquid oil after the cannabinoids have been infused into the oil.

I do dry out the ABV after the water cure somewhat, but I don't usually try to get it perfectly dry, since I usually start cooking it in oil immediately after. To dry it, I usually put it in the oven at about 230 F for an hour or more.

Yeah, oil washing is great. I do tend to lose a little bit of oil when I separate the solid oil from the water though. Little bits of oil tend to fall into the water as I cut the oil out of the container. I could probably figure out a way to lose less during that step if I spent some time thinking about it.
