Thorough test and review by novice French presser
Facts:
-I am a student during the school year and a stay at home dad in the summer.
-Every electric coffee maker has broken in an unacceptably short time.
-I wanted to get a French press to make my coffee and possibly learn a new art (making perfect coffee)
Statement:
The Kitchen Supreme French Press Bundle came on time and contained exactly what I expected.
Everything looks well constructed and is optically agreeable.
The carafe does not have any graduations on it but upon conducting an experiment using a measuring cup(not included), I found that the top of the upper metal band (on the carafe, not Sabbath) is exactly 34oz(fluid)!
I followed the directions provided with the kit with the following exception: I used pre-ground coffee!!! And dare I say it was... Folgers Columbian-Medium Dark!!! Which to some coffee snobs may very well be sacrilege, but they can cram that opinion up their dusty ass.
The coffee was delicious! I can't wait until I can get really crafty with pH-matched water and custom-roasted and ground beans! Then I can be a coffee snob too!
I strongly recommend this product! What amazing quality at a truly affordable price.
