No, I don’t have a clue if the title of this post even remotely represents “The French” in French. However, I have a ‘French Press’ coffee maker now as of this weekend. I Love it! My buddy Brian has mentioned his several times when we discuss coffee (am I a nut to discuss coffee?). While we both agree that black Starbucks coffee is from the devil, we now also both agree that a French press makes some darn good coffee.

It is slightly more complex than drip coffee because
1) You have to be there to push the water through the coffee
2) You hvae to have a coarse ground
3) You have to be able to put up with a wee bit of mud at the bottom of the cup

But whoa, this is great coffee. A little bit of sugar, some milk/cream and it takes no effort to pass by the Starbucks. Wait, it took no effort for me to pass the Starbucks before.
