Summary: a fatty substance containing cafestol (raises LDL cholesterol only in humans) gets hold back by paper filters but not by French press, Turkish and boiled coffees, or coffees using mesh filters.
This I knew. It should also be noted that when you use anything other than a paper filter (those reusable brass mesh ones), then you risk higher ldl cholesterol; not just French presses.
Ah, about ground coffee.
