Plunger coffee is obviously far superior to instant and lately I've been processing, roasting and brewing coffee from my own little bush that is finally producing a decent amount of cherries.
I heard metal french presses are way better for heat retention as I always feel like I'm left with a borderline warm cup of coffee after using the glass ones, does anyone have a suggestion for a good french press, can be glass, metal, anything really as long as it holds heat betterš.
Thanks!
Don't bother with glass. Broke three in one year stirring the coffee in them. I have this exact one in plain stainless steel and it's all you'll ever need:

That's as cheap as they get for that size too.
Second this suggestion - I too have the stainless one and it works just as well as much pricier Bodum ones etc. And far far better than a glass one.
Also have the S/Steel one. I Rinse it out with boiling water first, before making a brew.
I only wished that the lid sealed better. There is always a small gap at the spout, and this lets hot air / steam escape. I think if the lid was more airtight, the brew would stay warmer for longer.
Will you consider AeroPress? As well as Chinese copycats.

Sorry can't assist with that except for the following. I won a Meile coffee machine a couple years ago. It's and automatic cup filler and it makes a very nice coffee. However I find it's not really as hot as I like it. So the coffee machine sits on the bench right next to the Microwave. I just nuke my cup of coffee for about 20 seconds after it's made - perfect !
