I was convinced enough by what I gleaned from the scientific literature to change my habits. I stopped my twenty-year practice of using a French press to make coffee. Although I occasionally splurge on an espresso drink (which has only modest levels of the terpenoids) when I’m out and about or traveling, at home I now only make filtered coffee using the automatic drip machine with a gold mesh filter. Or I make pour-over coffee using a paper filter—and an unbleached one at that.
