Here's a trivial & nerdy inquiry: After adding hot water into the French Press (or press pot), and after stirring the grounds, ...Do you immediately place the lid on as you steep the coffee? Do you leave the lid off during the steeping time?
Bodum says to place the lid on. I have always thought that allowing the grinds to breathe as they steep is the best way. Any proof or science to say I'm correct?
