Man, I know zoomies are all about the whole 90s revival thing but french press sucks, there's a reason we all moved on. I guess each generation has to discover these things on their own. Everything old is new again.

french press coffee tastes like shit

>chinese products are le BAD

I like the coffee they make, don't usually use mine because it takes too long though

>>17321944
Pretty much, yeah.

>>17321944
the acidity of the coffee will leach the lead out of it

Bodum french presses are made in Portugal.

>>17321944
if there's anyone who would find a way to stretch a french press with cadmium it'd be china.

>>17322007
How the fuck does it take too long?? Grind beans ~1 min steep ~4min finished. How impatient can one be fuck

>>17321932

Le Creuset makes French presses now. I have one, holds heat very well if you're making multiple cups at once.

>>17321932
What you really need is a 3000 dollar eXpresso machine and a 2500 dollar flat burr grinder and a 2500 conical burr grinder. Totally mogs your french press.

>>17321944
Yes.

>>17322850
Wiht my moka pot, I just dump cafe bustelo in then bring the water to barely a simmer and it's done.

>>17322854

100% it's made in Chinkland.
I've noticed that Le Creuset has outsourced everything but their cast pots to China, making it hilariously overpriced.

>>17322858
Not giving money to Chink industry is the objective here.

>>17322854
Very literally gay but nothing wrong with that booboo

>>17321944
Always gives me a giggle whenever I hear retards say this.

Thank God, there are still civilized White Aryans who resist the human locusts and their cheap manufacturing.

Get a moka or an aeropress

>>17323021
Coffee from an aeropress is probably the best coffee I've had. Especially when you don't buy shit ground coffee that's been over-roasted to all hell.

>>17321932
You say you want a French Press but it sound like you need a Mating Press

>>17323003
if you look at the reviews for all of those that are in stock they all have metal parts made in china lmao

Imagine drinking c*ffee

>>17323209
semantics grammar nazi
>>17323003
utter based website, thanks for this anon.

>>17321932
Just go to an outdoorsman store, they usually sell them in camping gear since that's what they're best used for.

>>17321932
Just get a MADE IN AMERICA glass jug and a MADE IN AMERICA fine sieve to pour the coffee through when it's done. No need for a plunger.

>>17321944
>supporting expansionist, totalitarian, genocidal governments is le GOOD

>>17321932
Nah nigga you need a mating press

>>17322947
If you're paying that kind of money you can find great stuff that isn't china made.

>>17321944
Don't bother, these retards are brainwashed.

>>17322047
Every company that outsources to China seems to think otherwise. But I'm sure you know better than millionaire CEO's, Cletus.

>>17323072
True.
AeroPress Gang.

What I remember about Chinese food as a young kid growing up in Hong Kong was not really that it was “bad” (which it often was, of course) but that the stuff my parents ordered for us was almost all frozen, and that I would generally throw out whatever that they brought home. This was in the days before a proper kitchen, and there was a tiny freezer unit that could only hold what was on the top shelf, and often that was some random combination of Chinese or Indian takeout. A couple of times a week we’d have what seemed like the best of everything, but the rest of the time it was pretty terrible: a frozen piece of some meat and whatever was frozen with it, a tub of rice, and maybe a can of green peas, and maybe a can of baby corn. There was a few times in my childhood when we were treated to something really good, like fresh fish that one of the waiters brought home in a plastic bag. So for my first couple of decades, I never actually ate a lot

>>17324759
No one is wrong about everything.
The hipsters got it right with the aeropress

>>17321932
if you have to have a french press
hario makes one from japan
bodum eileen makes one in portugal

>>17326128
>hipsters

The concept of the Aeropress came from Italian inventions and was (obviously) appropriated by hipster bugboys and every other flavor of non-daigo, wipipo you'd expect to see stealing Italian culture.

For me it's the keurig because mine makes cold brew and I hate the environment.

gweilo is canontese and xiexie is mandarin. retard.

>>17324706
They know how to maximize a profit and make the cheapest product and sell it for the highest price that people are willing to pay. And trust me both Cletus and some super-rich guy wouldn't be caught dead with chink shit, they'd much rather prefer something that was truly built to last

>>17326151
The Hario one has parts made in China (the plunger, I believe).

>>17328221
What makes you think I give a fuck

>>17328232
The brand with the biggest share in the drone market in the US is DJI, a Chinese brand.
You're a retard that's mad at China for some reason but you don't know a single thing about Chinese products.

>>17327388
Way to miss the point, moron.

>>17329284
>The brand with the biggest share in the drone market in the US is DJI, a Chinese brand.
How is this relevant?

>>17329288
Because the fact that Chinese drones are the most purchased in the US both disproves the claim that Chinese products are LE BAD and his claim that nobody would purchase Chinese products.

>>17328767
The fact that you bothered to make an unfunny retarded post.

>>17327388
You don't get it. You have a phobia of Chinese products yet tons of the red-blooded American patriot products you love were actually made in China without you being aware of it. Also you think American companies have higher scruples than Chinese companies or something despite the fact that the former will in many cases have no qualms about outsourcing their production to the latter.

>>17329284
This sounds like bullshit, Zhang.

>>17325399
They are.
