I’m not a scientist. But I did play one on TV!
I just purchased a replacement French Press Coffee maker. My old one broke!
There’s just something about coffee that’s wonderful, sometimes mysterious and how I like it definitely describes me to a tee (Almost a pun!) I am, after all, just a stupid drummer from the Junction!
Recently I’ve seen a dozen or so videos on how to make French Press coffee. Being a fairly meat and potatoes guy I’m not one for fancy coffee shops. In fact you couldn’t pay me to be a Starbucks customer! I simply like “Coffee-flavoured” coffee!
Some of these techniques, by the time you’re finished, you really don’t want a coffee anymore!
Also please note … like always, I have not made a video of this and you’re welcome! I’d be afraid it would turn out something like the one below
They advise thermometers to check the water temp, pour a little in, wait four minutes, pour a little more in, wait another four minutes, spoon out any of the bits floating on top then pour into some sort of China cup from the Ming Dynasty.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the lil wee donkey.
I’m interested in having a coffee not performing some sort of Druid ritual!
My system is fairly simple and it works:
- Spoon coffee into French press
- Pour boiling water into French press
- Stir the shit
- Put in the plunger
- Jam it down
- Pour into mug
It works. I like it. Don’t bug me!
