yes

a french press is a big jar plus some mesh on a stick. the beans/water temperature/steeping time have a lot more effect on the coffee quality than anything that different presses could change

those statistics can't be trusted if they're uncritically counting everyone north of bangor as human

are you by any chance home from a long trip in west africa

what

coffee is native to east africa, I thought. I know for sure that's why it ended up so popular in the arab world—it's easy enough to cross the red sea and do some trading, so coffee ended up getting into the arab world. sufis have at least a reputation for loving stimulants—even if the realities of islamic mysticism and sufi styles in particular are way more complicated than that—and are generally credited with spreading coffee consumption over muslim arabia. the popular legend I've read is that some sufi guy smuggled a green coffee bean back home to yemen and began cultivating the plant for ~*spiritual use~* but I'd bet a nickel that the historical reality involves boring old trade for a plant and the knowledge to grow it.

anyway, just drank some coffee over here. thanks legendary sufis. thegendary sufis
