I use a coffee press - should i stir the grounds before pressing down?
It is stated on the press to always stir the grounds prior to pressing down.
However, people I trust have stated otherwise.
Stirring the grounds could be a conspiracy by the coffee powers to somehow get consumers to buy more coffee. (assumption, stirring grounds reduces the amount of consumable coffee).
That's really interesting. I've never used a coffee press, but have always been curious about them. I like loose leaf tea which utilizes a similar method to your coffee french press.
I'm not sure how the coffee grounds react when hot water is poured in, but if they scatter and float around, I dont' think stirring makes much difference since each coffee ground particle gets exposed to water. Stirring would probably "increase" the amount of consumable coffee since the motion of the particles would release more oils and flavors...just my opinion.
