Using a glass French press allows you to have a clear view of the brewing process - which I find interesting (the geek in me). Additionally, the improved features of this glass French press, such as a more durable construction which supports the glass (I also appreciate the narrower pour spout ) and the double screened filtration system, can enhance the overall brewing experience and result in a better cup of coffee. I've had this coffee press awhile now so this review is long overdue.Reasons I like this French Press...:1) Flavor: French press brewing allows for full immersion of coffee grounds, resulting in a robust and flavorful cup of coffee. The metal screen filter in a French press allows natural oils and fine particles to pass through, which can contribute to a richer taste compared to paper filters used in drip coffee makers.2) Control: With a French press, you have more control over the brewing process. You can adjust variables like water temperature, steeping time, and coffee-to-water ratio to customize your brew according to your preferences. Some days (like when I feel like I was hit by a mac truck )I want my coffee thicker than tar.....3) Body and texture: French press coffee has a fuller body and a slightly thicker texture compared to drip or percolator coffee..... Which is why when I went to a French Press I never looked back. The difference in taste is incomparable4) Simplicity: French presses are relatively simple to use and require minimal equipment. They don't rely on electricity or complex mechanisms.(If your power goes out - can you still make great tasting coffee?) I have taken my French Press to work, out camping and traveling.5) Environmentally friendly: French presses eliminate the need for disposable paper filters, reducing waste and environmental impact. This might not seem like a major point , but, for me - every bit in reducing waste counts.6) (Don't hold this against me!)I can also use this French Press for a big pot of delicious herbal tea at night in the winter. I'm a big believer in medicinal herbs and if a cough comes along I might make marshmallow root tea or Licorice root tea... or even dandelion tea.....So yes, to French Press....
