They call it “lengua de gato” or cat’s tongue. I can’t handle liquids that are too hot, so for me, hot enough two hours later, in this press, is enough.
That might not be hot enough for others, which is why I mention it. My father, for instance, could only drink one cup before it was not hot enough. Of course, with a glass french press, you get even less time.
it was less about the temperature but the time - to kickstart me in the morning I need to guzzle 2 to 3 mugs of caffeine solution in less than an hour…
