Glad I could be of service – it’s one of my favs, too. Your tale of coffee reminds me of when I pregnant and managing a coffee shop. I had baby brain so bad that I once “brewed” a pound of coffee during the morning rush without grinding the beans. It was a little weak for the AM commuters’ tastes.
Good luck with that, Cynthia. As for me, I’m content with hot chocolate, and the many mug I choose to drink it from. If and when I do drink coffee, which is once in a blue moon, it’s with lots of creme and lots of sugar.
Oh, go with the French press. Call me a coffee snob if you like, but I’ve a French press at work and I bring my own beans (though I bring them already ground: convenience over snobbery). I also like my coffee strong, so I use 8 scoops pot, water to fill, a touch of patience, and two nice mugs of coffee are the result.
Yes, the silly things are a pain to clean out, but it’s worth it.
I found this blog looking for the “strongest coffee in the world.” The problem is that I have been using this method for quite a while now and although I love it I’m looking for something stronger. I have moved on to espresso and am currently looking into Cuban espresso. I have used several french presses and prefer your method over them, the only difference is I use a wire filter instead of paper so the oils make their way to the cup.
