Investigating French Press Coffee 

There are two things that truly mess up French press espresso: water temperature — bubbling water that sears the grounds, or lukewarm water that doesn't separate completely — and seriously ground espresso with an excessive amount of fine coarseness that makes the squeezed espresso sloppy and unpleasant.
