I find it opposite end of spectrum from pour over. Don't you agree it's a different taste? I think it's just personal preference. It's far more oily and often has sediment / fines in the cup. You ever have any cholesterol issues? I've also heard the cafestol is something to look out for with FP (but again, I'm only interested in trying paper filtered FP which should clean a lot of that up).
Jeez, thanks for that invitation down the rabbit hole lol. Prior to your comment, I'd never come across any studies on boiled vs filtered coffee and its effects on hypertension and overall cardiovascular health. I've since read several and I'm now questioning my life choices. Seriously though, thanks for tip, and I'll definitely be doing my own experiments soon.
Maybe try the caffi filters? Unless there is a lot of leakage or they are overly porous, they should filter out cafestol (no data available unfortunately) and people seem to love them especially because they make cleanup easier. I'm interested in them primarily in hopes they crisp up the taste of FP. I've ordered some and can report back. If you remember, a few months from now would be curious if you made a dent in cholesterol with coffee related changes.
