French Press can have side effects
If you drink lots of coffee check this out before you drink a lot of French Press:
A report of the study, published in today’s British Medical Journal, shows that men and women who drank the filtered coffee exhibited no changes over the course of the trial in any of the assayed blood constituents. Previous studies by Urgert’s group had shown that such a filter effectively removes all of the coffee-oil’s diterpenes. Those who drank coffee made by the French press method, however, displayed a host of undesirable changes.

I loved the taste of French Press plus it makes more strong coffee per amount of beans than does the melitta filter I used so I was drinking more coffee. This is only ancedotal but after about 8 months I developed caffine sensitivity that lead to racing fast erratic heart beats and high blood pressure. I did have an elevation in my liver enzyme.
I'm now drinking swiss water process french roast organic coffee that is roasted locally and that I grind as the water boils but I'm back to dripping it through unbleached filter paper. It's not quite as good as coffee that hasn't been decaffinated and it cost a bit more but my blood pressure and heart rate are normal.
Just a heads up. Maybe most people won't drink as much french press coffee as I did, but be aware of possible side effects.

Re: French Press can have side effects
I thought of that but then for some reason, I guess to reduce the number of steps or process time, I really don't know just never got around to it. I may try it especially when having company as I can brew more at once that way, maybe ...
I just wish I liked tea as well as I did coffee, it's supposed to have stuff that is good for health and it takes less equipment, and is cheaper per cup, but I like my strong dark black coffee.

Re: Faith's ordering
However, it is far, far from the whole story and the typical kind of things that the major creo organizations and speakers use. It is, all by itself not untrue. It is however so far from the whole story as to be a deliberate dishonesty.
I think this often is self deception though. They are distorting the evidence to support what they are emotionally dependent on. Like a spouse being cheated on coming up with explanations that eliminate unfaithfulness on the part of their partner because they feel they couldn't handle emotionally the knowledge that their spouse was unfaithful.
It's not what is usually meant as lying in the sense that they know A is really the case but assert not-A. It's more they believe B and A contradicts B so they seize on anything to invalidate A.
