Bodum Columbia

[bilkay]

I've only seen this online and I like the carafe idea but do the grounds sit in the carafe or is there a removable insert?

grounds just sit in there like a regular french press. so yes, overextraction can occur if you are going to use it for the thermal feature to keep coffee warm for an extended period of time. but I just bought it cause i was sick of the glass breaking on my press.

Hmmm. Maybe I need to re-think it.

Thanks.

After extensive scientific research, distinguished coffee drinkers conclude overextraction and bitterness from a well-rested french press is urban legand. http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthr...ghlight=bitter

Get you a Bodum Columbia, the bigger the better, and use it for the rest of your life - there is none better. Leave a cup or two in the bottom, pour it the next morning and heat it up in the microwave. Say what you want but you won't say "bitter and overextracted".

Go with the Columbia and don't believe old wives tales.
