the only reason I use an insulated one is because it's more robust, and the guarantees I won't burn myself on the outside like an idiot. you really do not want to leave your coffee on top of those grounds for very long
How in the world is this epreso travel mug FP getting such good reviews?
I've seen gibberish that the over extraction doesn't happen in these giant insulated FP systems because there is no agitation, but there would be a ton of agitation in a bloody travel mug. Even in a counter top insulated 32 or 34 oz insulated FP every time you pour off a cup it would be agitating. I'm perplexed.
I have one of those. Well, a variation of one of those. I think mine is from Stanley. It's really awesome as a camping system since I don't have to worry about breaking it, and I don't need to keep track of different parts and filters. But I pour it into a mug immediately after the designated brew time. I would never dream of leaving it in there. Bleck!
Yeah that makes sense to me, but they advertise this thing like you just sip on it on the go while the grounds are hanging out in there. Asked someone else this too, but in a non transparent FP how do you even know when to stop plunging? You have to wait until you feel resistance on grounds? I thought putting direct plunger pressure on the grounds was a bad idea.
Yeah, I just press until I can put the lid on. I'm camping, so anything better than instant coffee tastes amazing. Haha.
