As a holiday gift, I received a pair of coffee presses (one for individual use and a larger capacity model for making a full pot).

I tried making a batch of cold-brew coffee with freshly ground medium roast beans. You are correct--it does seem to take out a lot of the acidity. With a little vanilla soy milk and some ice, it makes a nice iced coffee (and completely inappropriate for the cold snap that just occurred here :) )
