The left hand side is the filter from Hario French press, the right hand side is Bodum...

See how tightly knit Hario filter is, thus cleaner cup

Now I know the main reason why hario make a cleaner cup than others.

If your budget is HK$200+, then you better check out Hario single wall first to see whether the filter is the same as double wall in the pic... From my eye, it's the same

Better still, I suggest you to taste the resulting cup first at Fresh to see whether you can distinguish it. If you can't, go with your heart desire..

Since we talked about French press here, let me put some articles on its technique. They are pretty much ignore the steep time and not even plunge the plunger.. Here they are

My current brew is no plunge and longer than the typical 4 minutes for a cleaner and tasty cup with some tendency to overextract a bit... I haven't perfect it but I like it that way, kinda wing it to see how the coffee will come out. That's why I will never be a good barista, ie I'm too lazy on lots of things..

Wow! The method with plunger is so interesting! I can't wait to buy a French press to try this method!
