A couple of years ago, I decided I was tired of dealing with wet grounds and washing out my French Press every day, so we switched to a regular coffee machine. For convenience (I can’t do a Keurig or even a Nespresso machine...those pods just don’t work for me).

So after a couple of years of cleaning out the entire machine on a daily basis, which I can’t believe I didn’t notice was WAY more work than the French Press deal, I have officially switched back this morning.

And it’s amazing.

I love my coffee. Some people have used the term ‘hot liquid mud’ and I’m actually okay with that. I probably use at least twice the normal amount....okay, three times...but it’s too weak if I don’t. Also, I don’t use sugar, so if it’s too weak, the bitterness comes out and I just can’t. 

So yesterday, my husband brought the press that he’s been using when he makes coffee at work home, and I decided to go back. Except, it’s been a couple of years and I wanted to make sure I did it right, so I read a bunch of articles first, and then went for it. 

Long story short, DO IT. It’s so much better. Sweeter and rounder and more flavors, and just all around delightful. And, yes, I use three rounded tablespoons per cup. Mmmmmmmmmm buddy.

Don’t judge...I’m a Farmer. It’s in my genes.
