  „The plunger method, said to have been invented in 1933, extracts the most flavour from the ground beans. The pot is warmed, coarsely ground coffee is placed in the bottom, hot water is added to the grounds and stirred, then it is allowed to steep for three to five minutes, before the plunger is pushed down to separate the coffee grounds from the coffee infusion. This method is only slightly less convenient than the filter method and is today one of the two fastest growing ways to make fresh ground coffee. Cheaper pot models have nylon rather than stainless steel mesh to separate the grounds from the infusion, but they do not last as long.“

:: Dealing With Decaf ::

  „Ewan goes into technical mode. "Arabica coffee beans are circulated in flavour-charged water. This is water saturated with coffee flavour components. Flavour-charged water circulation is unique to the Swiss Water process and prevents most of the flavour compounds within the beans from dissolving during decaffeination, whilst at the same time the caffeine from the beans is absorbed into the surrounding liquid." So far, so wet.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee: Machines and Brewing Methods, 1st really good cup of coffee from Clarity

  „I have more experimenting to do.  I brewed the good pot by leaving the ratio(8 tbls beans/32oz water) the same but moving to a courser grind.  Seems like I'm using more coffee to water than others whose posts I've read.  And I gather if I reduce the grind size, I can use less coffee?“

Coffee World - Everything you ever need to know about coffee!

  „Unlike a paper filter, a plunger pot allows the full flavor of coffee to be savored. A paper filter traps many of the coffee's oils and removes some of the flavor nuances. Also, a paper filter can introduce "paper" flavors of its own.“
