Subject: Re: OT: The Coffee maker ...
I use my Bodum about once a week, usually with Columbian beans that I
purchase in bulk at Costco. But there are way too many coffee drinkers in
this house to get by with a french press. We make 40 cups every morning in
a large commercial-style percolator. It makes good coffee. Not as good as
the press of course, but it's better than the coffee served in most
restaurants and coffee shops.
The beans and fresh grinding are key.

You got it there Paul. Just bought a replacement for a Caprissio
grinder/brewer maker that grinds just before brewing - also has a
programable feature that grinds/brews at a preset time so freshly brewed
coffee can be available first thing in the AM. The aroma alone of freshly
brewed coffee is better than an alarm clock.

It's going to be another one of *THOSE* days!
I've got you beat. Yesterday morning my SO broke the glass carafe to
my Bodum French press.
Oh the agony!
She felt horrible about it, and of course I was
more-than-understanding, but that was the best damned coffee maker
I've ever owned.
Yesterday on the way home I bought paper cones and used the old
Melitta manual drip. Makes surprisingly good coffee, but not as good
as the Bodum. Oh well.
When company comes and I need to make more than a cup at a time, I'll
have to pull out the even-older 1940s Silex vacuum coffee maker.
Unlike the French press, if ~that~ breaks, there's no replacing it...
;-)
Hope your day picked up, John!
cheers,
frank
