A pressing engagement to start my day.



Yes, I've seen that infamous tea kettle picture from eBay. I donned pants.

Just be grateful that CSI's Zoom-in and Enhance BS doesn't work in real life!

Just out of curiosity, do you run your pressed coffee through another filter before drinking it?

[plonq.livejournal.com]

Nope, I pour it straight from the pot. You just have to remember to swirl it in your cup now and again so that you don't find sludge at the bottom.

The picture is tilted.

I know. I was a little concerned that it might spill at that angle, but I decided to go for it anyway in the name of artistic license.

The reason I asked is that a few months back, my partner read something about unfiltered coffee causing high cholesterol levels in some people. I don't remember the exact article I read. But there's a few of them out there saying the same thing now.

I still make my coffee in a french press everyday. But I run it through a cone paper filter before drinking it. As long as I'm starting out with good beans, it still tastes just fine.

My cholesterol (the "bad" one) was high before. But now it's in the normal range.

This doesn't really surprise me - I've always known that paper filters strip a lot of the oils from coffee.
