Just hand me the coffee, slowly... ...and nobody will get hurt!

"First, get yourself a plunge pot. Don't worry they're generally inexpensive! Grounds steep in the full charge of water for three minutes, then the plunger/screen is pushed s-l-o-w-l-y down, taking all the grounds to the bottom. This method yields more of the aromatic oils than coffee run through a filter."
I think they're also referred to as a "French Press." And yes, they're great. It'll take a little experimenting to get the blend and proportions to your taste but that's part of the fun. And Ithaca is right about those coffee pods; you end up drinking what THEY want you to. You can spend hundreds of dollars on an espresso/cappuccino machine (My son-in-law did!) or you can get an el-cheapo at Wally World. I bought a "Militta" on sale at Sears a few years back for $29.95. I ain't high production - one cup at a time - but it works just as good as the Yuppie ones. I'm going upstairs now to get me a third cuppa joe. ![]() Gunny John |
