In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Justin Piercy from @daddygotcoffee to talk about the French Press. It's a brewer which is not hard to master, but there are a few things you need to know to get the best out of one. It is those insider tips and tricks that Kenneth and Justin share with you in this episode, while also busting some of those myths.
Justin also talks about the benefits of Direct trade coffee sourcing. He also explains how he switched to decaf without compromising on flavor, something that helped him to manage the anxiety and panic attacks he was suffering from.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• With a French Press, it is easy to consistently make a good coffee and do so for several people at once.
• Costs are low, and there is less waste material because there are no paper filters.
• The ratio you use and when and how you plunge are important. Justin shares the perfect ratio and plunge technique.
• Stirring at the right time and letting it settle for long enough provides a smoother cup.
• When buying coffee, think about how the farmer is paid. Choosing wisely makes a huge difference in their lives.
• Decaf can taste just as good as caffeinated coffee.
