Question from B. Lee
Hi–
I’d like to find something more convenient than a French press but I have had no success with finding a coffee maker that does NOT use a plastic basket. I don’t mean the gold mesh filter basket but the basket that the filter actually sits in.
I have also looked in vain for a rice cooker that uses a stainless steel, rather than aluminum or non-stick, insert.
Thanks for any suggestions you can offer (and thanks for writing your books; I’ve referred to them for years)!
Debra’s Answer
I myself use a French press–not to make coffee because I don’t drink it at home–but it is perfect for making tea.
Readers–do you have any suggestions?
I realize this is an old thread but I had to add in another coffee brewing method to the mix. Cold brewing! I have recently discovered this method because it delivers lower acid coffee from any brand of coffee you buy and doesn’t require hot water. You can use glass, stainless, french press, or the most popular mason jar and brew your coffee on the counter over night. After that if you want to heat it, you can or serve in frappes or iced coffee drinks. Look it up, I love it!!!
