Interesting. I need to research this a bit. There are many things that impact (lower) cholesterol...without drugs. Hopefully you are on the right path and can get back to enjoying what you love.

Love French press, but I don't have time. Recently switched to using a kuerig with the reusable filter. 1) I avoid the cost of k-cups 2) I avoid the waste of k-cups 3) I can use the grinds for my compost pile and 4) I can enjoy 100% Kona coffee.
Oh and I typically start the day off with some "bullet proof" coffee. 1-3tbs high quality butter, 1-3tbs MCT oil added to the coffee and blended to a creamy perfection.

Yes this is a great cup, technique is not to hard just keep the water hot and don't let the melita go empty til it's done
And here in NorCal we have peets coffee which is my fav, medium roast Dominican or Ethiopian :yup:

Nothing like 100% Kona but it's so dam expensive here

This is a good 100% Kona: http://koinoniacoffeeco.com/
Full disclosure, they go to my brother's church in Kona.
But my all time favorite has to be Hula Daddy Kona Sweet. Awesome.
Otherwise, I stick to locally roasted coffee, roasted in the last couple days. Anything older and I won't get through a half pound before it's not worth the money. In Sac, Temple is good. Also, Old Soul. In Modesto, Preservation Coffee and Tea is the only place to get decent coffee. They have Olympia, Barefoot, Insight, and others rotating through.
Still looking forward to trying an aeropress though.

I've read about that stuff. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that might be even worse for cholesterol than French press coffee. But only slightly. LOL

Probably not. Contrary to popular believe, high cholesterol and/or high fat foods DO NOT cause high cholesterol.
(need a mind blown icon)But I have to admit the cafestol reference in your post stumped me.
It's great BTW. Totally awesome for getting the brain pumping on all cylinders first thing in the morning. :rock:

I'm trying some cinnamon tomorrow. I think I read someone used cocoa too. Might give that a whirl this week. :yup:

All this coffee talk makes me want a cup.. i'm very simple in my coffee making. at home, i insert whatever flavor of k-cup the wife bought and hit big cup, sip till empty. At work i take the filter and filler up to where i feel like it enough and add water to the maker and turn on. Never been a fan of the flavored stuff, just normal crushed up beans with hot water.

I have some friends that use these Chemex devices and swear by them.
It's a carafe with special paper filters that work much like the V60 system.
Weigh out your coffee, weigh out your water, pour over coffee in filter, wait for bloom, swirl remainder of hot water through filter.

Technique....LOL....I don't DARE try to make a cup of coffee for Panda. It's a ritual for him in the morning from the grinding of the beans (the grinder is lifted and shaken while the bean's are grinding) to the water temp (the kettle is set back on the burner until the Melita has drained low enough to put more water in) AND you must not let the water drain all the way through before your cup is full or the grounds turn to "thick mud" (his words) and the water won't seep the beans properly....in all fairness it is hands down the best cup of coffee I've had!!! Hopefully now that I've razzed him he'll continue to make me coffee on the weekends. Love you Panda!!:kisswink:
