I bumped into that method while doing a quick look into tips for brewing with a French Press. I may give it a try one of these mornings I'm feeling like taking things at a more leisurely pace.

The sludge is the best part tho

So I gave James Hoffmann’s method a shot this morning. I think I prefer the his method (and recipe) from a flavor perspective independent of any silt reduction. From the reduction of silt perspective it was a significant improvement but not silt free. I think I need a larger press since my tiny press makes getting in there with a spoon a bit awkward and I’m probably disturbing the silt in my efforts to get a full mug’s worth. I suspect using a larger press at half capacity would help with both issues.
