My favorite way to make coffee now is my French Press pot. For those who don't know, it's a cylindrical glass pot with a screen attached to a rod. You grind the coffee very course, dump it into the pot, pour boiling water over the top, stir, wait 5 minutes, then push the screen through to force the grinds to the bottom. I SWEAR this makes the best tasting cup of coffee I've ever had. You need good beans, though, like the kind you'd buy at Starbucks or Caribou. Even 8 O'clock seems not to be quite good enough (tastes great in the auto drip pot, though). The only thing you need to be aware of is you'll get very fine grinds in the bottom of your cup, so don't drink the last sip.
Does anyone else have any favorite coffees or brewing methods? I just ordered some Cafe Britt coffee from Costa Rica, should come today. Excellent stuff.
