I would highly recommend taking a peak at James Hoffmann's method. I feel it has been the most efficient method in removing that sludge at the bottom of the cup.
The sludge is the best part tho
So I gave James Hoffmann’s method a shot this morning. I think I prefer the his method (and recipe) from a flavor perspective independent of any silt reduction. From the reduction of silt perspective it was a significant improvement but not silt free. I think I need a larger press since my tiny press makes getting in there with a spoon a bit awkward and I’m probably disturbing the silt in my efforts to get a full mug’s worth. I suspect using a larger press at half capacity would help with both issues.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you are looking for a suggestion, I have the Fellow Clara. It's a bit pricey, but it has been absolutely awesome.
I honestly just love Fellow products, I have yet to be disappointed by anything they've made. To be fair though, I know many have been dissatisfied with their Carter line of travel mugs, as many have gotten a roasted garlic smell in the mug that they can't get rid of. But I've currently got 4 of them, and haven't experienced it once.
That's a nice looking press. Yet another thing to add to the backlog of coffee toys to potentially buy. :)
I bumped into that method while doing a quick look into tips for brewing with a French Press. I may give it a try one of these mornings I'm feeling like taking things at a more leisurely pace.
