Or just try a French Press.

Be careful with too much french press. It has been linked with increased blood cholesterol levels[1]. I made the switch to filter-based coffee brewing methods because my levels were high. Obviously not a problem for everyone, but for those with a family history of high cholesterol levels (like myself), it's worth being aware of the potential impact.

I'll keep it in mind, but I had my yearly biometric screening done less than a month ago and was told my cholesterol was "fantastic."

Despite being in the tech world and a coffee enthusiast, I am not one of these guys who drinks four or five cups a day. I make exactly two pots during the day, both of which I share with coworkers, so my intake rarely exceeds two eight-ounce mugs' worth a day.
