It's good to see a reference cited for the claim that French press coffee increases LDL cholestrol levels. However, the reference used, http://www.medpagetoday.com/Cardiology/AcuteCoronarySyndrome/tb/3154 is not a study itself but instead is a quote alluding to the existence of studies: "(Rob van Dam Ph.D) said published studies have "consistently shown that drinking a lot of French press coffee increases LDL."". A more direct reference to such studies would be appreciated. Verdatum 19:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I just read this article randomly and had a major "what the hell?" moment when I read the preparation section. The mention of cholesterol is jarringly out of place, has nothing at all to do with preparation, and I actually had to read it three times before I was absolutely sure that it was, in fact, not some random vandalism added to the article. The placing of this tangent is bad... I 'm not saying that it shouldn't be in the article (well... yeah I am. I would say it should go in coffee) but it definitely shouldn't be where it is now.

This claim is highly dubious and unlikely. Compared to espresso and other pressure-vessel methods this method is not likely to be higher concentrating. It is, however, likely to produce higher concentrations than a 'Dripolator'. Can some references be found please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.14.27.42 ( talk) 06:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
"Coffee for use in a French Press should be of a somewhat fine grind, similar to that used for a drip brew coffee filter, but slightly coarser than that used for espresso. Coarser grinds such as used for coffee percolators give less satisfactory results."
Note: This is a matter of opinion. Coarse grinds work just fine for me, and result in less 'fines.' The Coffee FAQ says that coarse grind is a must for the French Press.

Biologists use what is called a French Press to burst open cells. It involves a high pressure plunger system that I came here to find out if it has anything to do with the coffee maker. I know the labware is named after the inventor, Stacey French so I guess it may be a coincidence? I was just wondering if I wanted to write an article for a scientific French Press if it should be in a separate entry with a paranthetical or as a note here. Anyone know?
I'd never heard it called a "plunge filter coffee maker" before. google.co.uk, with "pages from the UK" pressed, shows 178 references, many of those copies of the Wikipedia article. It shows 125,000 references to cafetière and 36,800 references to cafetiere. I feel inclined to remove "plunge filter coffee maker" altogether. Isidore 19:30, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Nowhere in the article does it actually say where in the world this apparatus is called a French press, a term I have never heard before. Does anyone know? 137.222.92.47 ( talk) 10:49, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Never heard it called anything other than a 'coffee plunger' before. I'm in France and most people have never seen one, though it's called a "cafetière à piston". How bizarre. "French press" hmm. Stevage 12:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Why does paragraph six duplicate the instructions of paragraph three? ✈ James C. 21:28, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
Are the "Cafetiere press up" and "Cafetiere press down" images really necessary? The verbal instructions are clear enough, and the visuals clarify nothing. They're not even very good diagrams, with unnecessary letter labels and strange color choices. The pictures just make the whole process seem more complex than it is. ✈ James C. 21:57, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
While the study linked is valid research, it's not an example of the French Paradox. That's the conclusion of whoever added this text. For french-pressed coffee with its elevated cafestol levels to represent an example of the French Paradox, it would have to be shown that French people drink more french-presesd coffee than the control population. This very article contradicts that, for one thing. For another, even if it didn't, there's still no such research. 198.49.180.40 17:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Only the first paragraph of the Variations section is actually about variations. The other paragraphs are useful but ought to be moved to other sections. Possibly new sections ought to be created for that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.21.41 ( talk) 19:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Can somebody else weigh in on the bitterness/expiration effect the article claims? Because I prefer the taste of press coffee that's been sitting long enough to need reheating to having it freshly made, and I'm a supertaster who needs two sugars and a spoon of milo to make it drinkable (and can't drink espresso-based drinks with any amount of sugar or flavouring in them) so I think I'd notice extra bitterness, but all I do notice is a richer, more complex flavour. Obviously this is original research and so can't effect the article, but still, it seems odd to me. -- Kelly holden ( talk) 23:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Could we title the article correctly, please? It's either a сafetière (à piston), or a "coffee press". "French press" should be listed as one of the other names, not the main title. Why must all en.wikipedia.org articles be so U.S. centric?
French press, French fries, French toast -- what the hell is it with Americans (incorrectly) naming things after France? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.165.125 ( talk) 00:57, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
