CHOOSING COFFEE

Here are some things to consider when buying coffee.

ROAST DATE

Look for coffee bags that have a roast date on them - it’s an indication that the roaster cares enough to inform you about freshness. If you prefer to buy pre-ground coffee, consider buying smaller amounts at a time so that you’re enjoying fresher coffee.

ROAST TYPE

Generally speaking, roasts can be categorized as light, medium, and dark; which
correlates with the relative color of the coffee beans. With lighter roasts you'll notice a tart flavor that's referred to as acidity. Medium roast coffees display a balance of acidity and dark-chocolate sweetness. The darker a coffee is roasted, toasted/burnt flavors come out and oils appear on the bean's surface.

FLAVOR

Some coffee bags will note flavors that you can spot in the coffee, just like how wine bottles might display flavor notes. These notes don’t mean that the roaster actually added flavors to the coffee (at least that’s not the norm); they just mean that the coffee reminded someone of these flavors.

GRIND SIZE

For the freshest coffee, purchase whole beans and, using a burr grinder, grind the
amount you need just before brewing. If you prefer to purchase pre-ground coffee, make sure you have it ground to the correct size for your coffeemaker. For Palmpress, use medium grind size.

Palmpress Coffee Press

Absolutely splendid!

Easy to use, eminently portable, I even use it in places that don't serve coffee just to have my own cup! Very well designed and worth every penny.

Thank you, Gil!

Great for on the go

Love love love

So simple and easy to use, I take this with me anytime I travel and use it on a daily basis. Loved it so much I bought it as a gift for a friend :) definitely a great purchase

Thank you, Cayla!

Great Little Press

The coffee it brews is excellent. I have used many different brewing systems and I believe this is the best cup of coffee I have ever made!
I compared this to the Aeropress, and although it is a little more price-wise, I believe it is worth it. It comes completely apart and cleans up fairly easily. Like all coffee presses, the grounds never fall right out, there are always some to rinse away.
Take it from a former barista, you won't be disappointed with the freshest, most flavorful cup of coffee you've ever had!

Thank you, Kent!

Palmpress Coffee Press

Whoever invented this is a genius!

I bought a Palm Press at a coffee expo in New York in (I think) 2019 in anticipation of a trip to Japan in 2020. Well, we all know what happened in 2020 (and 2021, and 2022) but this year I finally made the trip and I've gotta tell you, having my Palm Press was a godsend. Hotels in Japan have a kettle, but only tea and instant coffee (ugh) but with the Palm Press, we were able to have great coffee every morning.

Most importantly, it makes great coffee. Secondly, it cleans up very easily. Third, the built-in filter means no paper filters required. Fourth, no glass to break (I found this out the hard way, when a mini French press shattered in my luggage once), and Fifth, it squishes down to nothing and easily fits in a suitcase or backpack.

My partner and I use a Chemex for our morning pot of coffee, but now that I'm retired, I sometimes feel like a mid-morning cup while I read the paper or do the crossword. Before, I'd use the Nespresso, but now I just use my Palm Press. Not only is it a better cup of coffee, I like the fact that there's no little pods to worry about buying and then recycling (or worse, cluttering up the landfill).

Wow, thank you so much, Paul!!
