Agree that that is the only notable thing about it. But Corp legal departments will say anything to shift blame.
As to the whole story. "Legal product was advertised legally" could just have well have been the title.
No different than Ford paying a movie or game to include a Mustang
I would say burr grinder and French press. I usually use a machine to do my coffee, because I'm lazy. Machine tries to mimic a pour over.
But when i choose between my aeropress and French press, I almost always use the French press.
I have a baratza encore grinder, which is a decent entry level grinder. I think my French press is a Bodom, that makes a single 10oz cup.
For research. James Hoffman has a great YouTube channel on lots of coffee topics.
