The low-tech way.

A couple of these are kind of "out there" but I really enjoy coffee from my French press.

1. French Press all the way here - and home roast!

Yes, we are spoiled!

3. I buy beans, but I grind them right before I put them in the press

Now I can't drink coffee any other way.

I have a percolator I use when I need a lot of coffee all at once, and it's okay. But press coffee is really the best, IMO.

2. I finally got a stainless steel press

because I broke so many glass ones.

4. Good idea! I've never seen a stainless steel one!

6. It's also a double wall and so it holds the

heat for about 2 hours. It's wonderful and looks as beautiful today as it did when I bought it in 2008. I thought it was pricey, but after breaking about 3 or 4 glass pots, I decided it was a good buy.

5. I swear by my Vacuum Pot. Tried the F. Press

hated it. Once you use the Vacuum Pot, you will never go back. I use the glass filter instead of the cloth filter that comes with the pot.
