French (Freedom) Press

Thanks to a good friend of mine, I have recently discovered the wonders of the French press (a.k.a. press pot a.k.a. "Freedom" press)

There's nothing like the smell of freshly ground Peet's coffee in the morning, and the full flavor extracted by a French press. You can get a French press for as little as $10 - if you're lucky enough to live near an Ikea! Otherwise, you'll spend at least $15-20 at Target. Don't feel like you need to spend $40-50 for a press from Starbuck's - in my opinion, they're no better!

(I should note: My boss, who regularly has at least 4 shots of coffee a day, just pointed out Intelligentsia's Black Cat roast. Though not great for espresso, this roast rocks in the press pot)

I personally don't like Peet's Coffee. People that like french presses should try Starbucks Kenyan or Komodo Dragon coffee. The french press really brings out the flavor of these two roasts

Wait a minute, are you talking about me? It's more like 12 shots a day.

Peet's is good, but Intelligentsia rules!
