Yes, even Starbucks says the best way to make coffee is with a coffee press. That is the way I do it. That is the way you should, if you can spare the time. I make time for that each morning, somewhere around 6:15.As faithful readers will know, I am too lazy to grind the beans. (That would mean starting at 6:08, unless I got one of those coffee makers that does everything but put a hot cup in your cold hands.) I just buy them ground.
A warning however - the caffeine content is a bit higher when a press is used, compared to a filter.

Paul, how did you manage to have this posted on your blog with the date of Thursday, 6 November 2008? Does this mean that you already know the results of next Tuesday's election as well? Boy...that's some kind of special caffeine in that coffee of yours ;-)

Okay, little confused here...to you place the whole beans in your press, pour hot water, let it sit five minutes then press? Whole beans? How does the flavor come out?
I have been meaning to try that! But, I'm really not a coffee drinker.
If you haven't started drinking coffee, skip it. I love it, but it's another pleasure that costs money. Plus the caffeine is bad for your heart. But it's a great social thing to join a friend for a cup of coffee. But you can always have tea in those situations.
Paul,
Thanks for your thoughtful comment on my blog. I wasn't familiar with The Seed Company site, but now I am!
I love my French press! It makes great coffee!
God bless,
Susan
I hate French presses. They are the work of the devil. Or maybe I'm just horribly uncoordinated.
Anyways, I found that if I just pour boiling water from the water cooker (that my wife uses for her tea) into the coffee maker, I get coffee that is soooooo good. Really.
