You may have figured out that those of us in TSNW headquarters love coffee. After all, coffee is a major player in NW culture and we are all about the NW. Well, as a consummate coffee consumer, I have all of the accoutrements to make a mean cuppa joe. However, I have been bad about using them, because my trusty coffee maker works the magic every morning to bring me into the land of the living.
Recently, I ran out of coffee filters (I would use a reusable coffee filter but they don’t make them for my machine-guilty green conscience- had to justify my reasoning), so I dusted off my trusty plunger pot aka french press and rediscovered the joy of fresh pressed coffee.
I had forgotten the taste sensation of the coffee from a plunger pot. It’s like the Oregon Symphony was playing while some break dancers busted a move and the hottest Hollywood blockbuster played all on my tongue at the same time. For real. I had forgotten the bliss of direct contact between the water and the grounds with no paper catching all of the oils and thus keeping them from my tongue.
I can’t believe I had forgotten how tasty plunger pot coffee could be. (Bad Brian!) In fact, I’m thinking of getting a second one for the office. That way I can always enjoy the deliciousness.
Have you ever had coffee from a french press? What did you think?
