In reply to the discussion: Health effects of coffee: Where do we stand? [View all]TheBlackAdder

Well, you do come off as a bit pretentious, since you have a very myopic view of how to make coffee.
You have consumed the Kool-Aid thought of others, especially those sites justifying on spending $50-200 on a burr grinder. while dropping the "completely inaccurate" and "wrong" thing with mild ignorance.
If you were savvy to coffee making, you'd know there are different models of French Presses around and I was equating a fine grind French Press versus an extra fine grind drip machine. Sure, with larger grinds, there might be a benefit to using a burr grinder, but once the grind falls below a certain level, it becomes moot. Size matters for the equipment being used.

Yup. It's water, coffee and wine for me. Coffee in the AM, wine with dinner and water

That ice/ice water function in the door of my refrigerator has proved to be the best

I love the crushed ice option, too. Nice for occasional diet pepsi...hubby loves it!

2 - 3 cups a day of fine grind French Roast. I do question those anti-French Press health concerns.

Let's be honest. Anything but milk, juice, bread, fruits, nuts and vegetables is not 'real' food.

I cut back until that British study a few years ago said coffee is nearly as hydrating as water
