{"title":"Coffee Grinders for French Press","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrench press is the most forgiving brew method there is, right up until the grinder ruins it. Press coffee needs a \u003cstrong\u003ecoarse, even grind\u003c\/strong\u003e. Get it wrong and you get the two classic failures: a muddy, silty cup that keeps giving you grounds in the last mouthful, or a thin, sour one that never developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe culprit is almost never the beans. A blade grinder produces a mix of powder and boulders in the same batch. The powder slips through the mesh filter and turns to sludge at the bottom of your cup; the boulders barely extract at all. No amount of steeping time fixes that, because you are brewing two different coffees at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to look for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA genuinely coarse setting.\u003c\/strong\u003e Some grinders built for espresso struggle at the coarse end and start clumping.
