t's one of the most elegant and environmentally responsible ways to prepare your morning cup of coffee, but if you're regularly using a French press, you could be doing serious damage to your body in the long run, according to a study published in The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
"Unfiltered coffee contains substances which increase blood cholesterol," explains study author Dag Thelle, a senior professor in the public health and community medicine department of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. "Using a filter removes these and makes heart attacks and premature death less likely."

Get ready for fake meat printed on a 3-D printer.
They will have to pry my dead cold fingers off of my coffee cup....
Reminds of the wake up scene from the movie Sleeper. In 15 years these studies will all be disproven.
Ok so put a filter at the end of the plunger
Wouldn't that act as a filter and then the French Press issue is negated?
Hostage! Problem solved! You're a genius!!!
LOL, according to the article only if you do French press!
Never bitter?
I would try a little.
About every coffee no matter (including lots of sugar and cream) what is always overwhelmingly bitter to me.
Worst thing I ever did was get born.
I swear my birth is gonna be the death of me...eventually...
I wish that were a more reliable gauge: I’ve exercised 4-6 days a week for the last 36 years and had a heart attack Easter Sunday 2019 with placement of 11 stents. My doc’s diagnosis? “Bad genes, man...”
Until the devices are removed from the market, this is likely hype.
......Good God what a nation of mammby pammbys we’ve become. Our parents smoked cigarettes, drank without a care, let us kids play in the dirt, owned fire arms proudly, survived The Great Depression and won WW2.
Now coffees dangerous? Oh for cryin’ out loud.....VERY TRUE
WELL SAID!
Sigh. You can’t even enjoy a cup of coffee without some liberal busybody trying to ruin it for you. And the study was paid for with government money, no doubt.
LOL! When I see my obituary I’ll say “Dang no one ever tells me anything!’’.
A more dangerous way to drink it would be pour a cup then jump out of a 10 story building while sipping the brew.
I am drinking coffee right now from a non-Starbucks. Is it safe to drive
Try it $5.99 the can, very nice. You can order online.
I don’t really drink coffee much anymore but bought this by the case. The extra fine grind makes it suitable for expresso machines.
“... do I need to buy a $200 kourig?”

Mmmmm....
I like my Kuerig. That said....wouldn’t the little cups/containers that some in stores be like the French Press...the results, I mean? There’s no filters in those little ready made cups/containers.
I do use loose coffee and little tiny containers...those have built in filters.
Not gonna give up my Keurig, though.
A French Press has been on my ‘to buy’ list. And as scientists these days can change opinions from one day to the next...... still planning on getting a French Press.
:)
Is thought it would be while operating a chainsaw sitting on a branch 30 feet up. Guess I was wrong.
