Dawg Tired Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 YUM!!!! The press makes great coffee! The only downside is this one is a small one, I will undoubtedly get a larger one later on, but it is no more complicated than the drip maker. It looks much nicer on the countertop and doesn't take up as much space. The beans I ground not as fine as I do for the drip maker. I poured the ground coffee in, poured the boiled water over them, put the top on it and let it steep for 4 minutes then pushed the plunger down slowly. The coffee is very rich tasting with no bitterness. Yep, I am a convert!I have coffee again!!! (Dancing slowly here!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukkychrm42 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Haha that's cool- I know what you mean about the size... mine is cute but it doesn't quite fill my large mug up. Of course maybe that's significant, but I'll ignore it for now!I went out for coffee today with some Italian boys, and the first two places we tried were packed without anywhere to sit, so we ended up going to Starbucks- at their request! I haven't been since I got back to Boulder, and I would have thought that Italians would despise the idea of Starbucks.. they got fancy frappucinos, and I think appreciated the fact that they were more like large desserts than coffee. We still had to sit outside, but it was still a good time. Though I think if there were Starbucks in Italy, maybe they wouldn't be so open to it! Oh well, I think I'll stick to my local place. )Yummy! Enjoy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I love my morning coffee... a few years ago, I got hooked on making coffee the way they do back in Croatia (Hrvatska); my Greek friends essentially do the same thing, as they also do at our local Turkish restaurant. They use a very fine ground Turkish coffee, and boil it in water in a pot called dzjeva (sorry, the correct international letter isn't available); wikipedia has a pretty good description--Hrvatska is in the Balkans, so this is pretty much the standard way they make it and it's strong, but smooth and I am additcted to my am cup full.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_coffeeI only have one cup of coffee a day, so I make it a really good one! BTW, I love the french press too... but for some reason, I like the boiled stuff better.Ninaand here's a little more info...http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/tools/cezve/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
