It does take longer yeah but no its actually cleaner than at least the way I was doing it which was just to plunge it down real slow right after the brew. I'm not a coffee expert myself but I think the extra bitter compounds find their way to the bottom along with that coffee ground sludge leaving the coffee nice and clean as long as you dont pour out that last little but of liquid at the end. It's also a lot closer to comfortable drinking temperature after that second phase so you can start drinking it pretty much right away
With Hoffmans French press technique I barely get any grounds in the final pour. Basically you break that little puck of grounds on top after brewing and let it sink down for like 5 minutes before you put the plunger in
Protest is never peaceful, if it is you're doing it wrong. It should be non-violent and as respectful as possible but it needs to be disruptive and you can't be peacefully disruptive
This guy is great, he is a professional coffee guy so he will get in the weeds a bit but not in a hard to digest way. I personally use a French press that's metal and insulated but that will get me 3-4 cups of coffee. If you're looking for strictly single serve then try looking at an aeropress, they are cheap and given the right technique (which James above does go over) you will get tasty coffee. As for good coffee that's a little bit subjective. Grinding the beans yourself will give the best results but I'm not picky myself and usually pick up the preground stuff. As for my personal way of choosing which, I just look to see if I recognize the label and if it's a dark roast, if I don't and it is I'll give it a whirl
I'm not sure I would go back even if they are unionized. It's shitty coffee made by a chain that is very eager to ignore labor laws that are inconvenient. I'll stick with my local coffee shops that actually give a shit
I was hoping in vain that Blizzard might pivot even a little when they saw the backlash but nah people continue to throw money away on bullshit so of course Blizzard wouldn't
