Tried it this morning. For sure a lighter brighter a cup of coffee. Perhaps a touch less body.

This seems to be the consensus, works better for bringing out brightness in beans that have more body and gets rid of some of the bitter. Beans that are brighter seem to loose to much body.



So here is something else to try...The pull instead of the push.


Plunger down towards the bottom, add grinds and water, sir, steep.

Pull plunger up, discard used grinds, rinse and then plunge.

Brings out even more brightness and almost no bitter left.

This sounds like a mess waiting to happen. My little Bodum doesn't seal well enough around the top to keep the grounds from carrying my premature coffee right up around the edges of the carafe.
