Coffee Break
By
My French Press coffee maker is one of my favorite items I keep in my apartment. The version I currently own is composed of many different materials like glass, metal, and some plastic. Each having a specific purpose, contrasting visual quality and feel, all working together to help to achieve its general function of brewing coffee.
There are a few stages to making coffee with a French Press. First you need to coarsely grind the beans, boil some water, stir, wait, cover…then press and pour. This simple method of brewing coffee tends to produce more flavor than a standard drip machine. But beyond taste alone, the french press style of brewing is a process that instills patience and proportion, skills that are much further reaching than your coffee cup.
There are many ways to make a cup of coffee, each one having its own unique aspect of preparation. If you like to drink coffee from time to time, check it out!

Funny, non sequitur post. That said, being a coffee fan myself, I agree that the press is ingenious. I use a smaller non-glass version for travel, camping, etc. They also double as a great way to brew loose leaf teas. Amen to the patience and proportion – a cup well earned.
