A Little Obsession

Coffee that is. My coffee obsession is not new. That, frankly, is very old.


It’s my manner of brew that has me a little obsessed. Honestly, until recently I was perfectly happy with my Keurig. It did the job, every morning, like clockwork.


But, during this extended time at home, I discovered the French Press and to be honest I haven’t touched the Keurig in weeks.


Funny, I think I enjoy the process of making the coffee almost as much as drinking the coffee. That plunge at the end says “I’m ready” and tells me my day is ready to get started too.


For those of my coffee friends out there in Gothamland, what is your preferred method of brewing?

French press on weekends. The best, very smooth. Takes too long for during the week when I'm generally rushing out of the house. So, the French press is a weekend treat. During the week, it's the Keurig and Starbucks French Roast Kcups. Love them.

I use drip variety I either mail order or pick up in The Village - Porto Rico on Bleecker off the 6th Ave. I blend a pot of decaf and regular Franjelica brewed “robust”into a metallic thermos pot that keeps the brew HOT. Drinking 2d mug as I draft this reply.

Some people can't sleep when they drink coffee. I'm the opposite. I can't drink coffee when I'm sleeping.

We similarly ditched the Keurig for the French Press (which I had used many decades ago, at my first post-college apartment -- not the same one, of course).

French Press has been our way of making coffee for decades. Truth be told, I like the coffee from the truck on the corner too. It's a completely different experience and equally satisfying.

French press is too much of a process for the us. We use the Keurig daily for both coffee and hot water for tea. I like experimenting with different K-cups. I enjoy the Kauai blend and Starbucks Italian Roast.

Thermos! Great idea Corey. I struggle with that second cup -- can't leave it in the press too long.
