Coffee Press Pot

[epsylum]

I agree with everything you said, esp. re: Czech beers. I generally don't drink anything from a green bottle (Molson, Urquel, Heineken). Give me a Bud longneck over any of those.

But, what do I know? I've been drinking.

Hmmm. Never put the green bottle connection together. I like Heineken ONLY when it is ice cold. When it warms up, for some reason it tastes like ham (I said ham, not bacon ). I have had more than one bar tender agree with me on that.

Fixed it for you.

I just got back from the Mart that is Wal and there was nary a press to be found.
I'm jealous.

Try Target I ordered mine when we got it a few years back.
french press : Target Search Results
They have a variety.

I saw that...
Sadly, Target is not 4.1 miles from my front door and opened 24/7.
No matter. The spousal unit works with a coffee snob who sells them. I'll have one by the end of the week.
There was a long discussion about this person, his daily use of a press, his making some for a taste test (I believe the phrase was "Oh.My.GOD, it was good."), and the fact that it was never brought up until I mentioned the stuff I read in this thread. Somebody owes me big.

Starbucks has some different presses. A while back I boght a french press travel mug from there. It is great, add hot water and grounds let it steep for 2 min, slowly press the plunger down and drink. Its nice, one container that wont spill and fits in the cupholder.


I will begin bidding at.....one completed AR-15j/k

So did you get one? Did you like it?

So did you get one? Did you like it?

Every single day, I inquired "Did you ask him about it? Did you bring me one??"
And every single day I heard, "*sigh*, I'm sorry...I forgot."
So, no. I did not. And yes, I'm a tad miffed about it.

Makes a good pot of (loose) tea also.

Although I'm getting really jealous...I rep'd you for checking back on me!!

 

[AFA1CY]

Thanks, that brightened my somewhat dull (sitting here at work, bord watching the snow fall) day

I say go for the alien coffee press. That's too cool. If I treated coffee paraphernalia like I do guns, I'd go out and buy it, even though I already have a perfectly good one. Hmmm... maybe one for the office....

It's tempting, but I'm too impatient for the wait from the UK!

Nice AAR, Annie. Could almost smell the aroma.

 

[AFA1CY]

Glad you enjoyed it. I have noticed that the coffee makes a BIG difference in the taste. Some I like and some I don't. Also the quality of water plays a role in the outcome.

 

[JetGirl]

I have yet to try Sumatra beans in it, but those are what I prefer in other stuff. I only ever use filtered R.O. water... </snobbery>

 

[AFA1CY]

Well I'll one-up you on the water I use Milli-Q dionized water (i.e. laboratory grade water) About 99.95% pure.

Is that similar to Penta?

 

[AFA1CY]

Could be. They do a deionization and run it through several filters. Comes out ultra pure, and tastless...
