I Decided to Keep My French Press After All

I am no stranger to French presses, but I thought something must be wrong with mine. Sure it looked like the others — maybe even cooler than most. But every time I tried to brew coffee in it, it was a fail.

I don’t live near a fancy coffee shop, but I bought the best coffee I could find. I made it stronger and stronger until the coffee stood upright in my mug. It still tasted like murky water. I threw it out.

I almost threw out my French Press.

But then, a friend came to visit us. He knows good coffee, and he must have bought some liquid gold. I brewed it up in my French press.

Ahh delightful!

A perfect cup of coffee is a beautiful thing.

Friends don’t let friends drink bad coffee.
