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.

Same here. Wait for them to release a report saying the use of filters causes cancer; you and I will be ahead of the curve! ;)
My grandfather rolled his own cigarettes (unfiltered) and lived to be 80. Guess he could have lived to be 120 if all these media nannies had been around to save him.
I love the aromas from most coffees, but I rarely drink anything hot other than soup. If I want/need the caffiene rush, I take a caffiene pill. 200mg = The caffiene content of one average cup of coffee. Or, I will take a B12 tablet.
On the rare times I do want coffee, I use powdered instant.
People do what works for them.

Cigarette sales peaked about 1969. Lung cancer deaths peaked about 1980.
All things in moderation.
Well, back to eating sawdust I guess.
No heat control. I do tend to overpack the basket.
Ever use Sumatra from Trader Joe’s? Rocket fuel.
You’ll be fine if you gets plenty of anti-oxidants with your coffee.
“I would’ve thought the most dangerous way to drink coffee was to heat it up to about 500 degrees, then pour it into your mouth from about 10 feet high.”
Boiling point is 212.
