French Press


Today I learned how to make coffee using a fancy French press, courtesy of my coffee enthusiast friends. We started off by boiling the water and grinding the coffee beans. I assembled the press and we added the water to the grounds. Using a wooden chopstick (not a metal stirrer) I stirred the concoction and let it steep for 4 minutes. Once time was up, I pressed the press and voila--pour and serve.

The toughest part for me was the actual consumption. The coffee was definitely much better than my first batch but I didn't enjoy it as much as my friends. Oh well, I'm sure I'll like my 50th cup.

Tonight I'm getting together with some friends to figure out Bridge. Wish us luck!
