I got a semi shitty 80$ Chinese branded one off of Amazon last year. It works for what it is but God damn your machine looks so much better.
Bed bath and beyond has a 20% off coupon, an sometimes un educated employees let you combine that with the yearly sale making this machine like 400$ which is a steal, I have had it for over 4 years, its made 6500$+ worth of coffee for me and my family for the cost of beans!
I bit the bullet and got a digital kettle
This one:
For my new Bodum 50oz glass French Press. @all fucking worth it.
Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker, 51 Ounce, 1.5 Liter, Chrome https://a.co/d/4pdNtIz
Not that I canāt hit the same quality with my stove top gooseneck kettle that has a built in gauge but holy fucking shit. If you want French press quickly and arenāt trying to sacrifice quality, thatās the one.
Made using my Farberware inexpensive automatic espresso machine.
I use a MHW-3Bomber Tamp that does a constant 30lbs of force and is spring assisted and distributed via tapping it on the counter. I need a good distributor.
Still fantastic pull
The glove is so you can see the darkness.
I still want to give that egyptian green coffee idea a try. It tasted good. I just couldnāt grind deep enough to get good extraction.
