Awhile back I realized I had time in the morning to skip the K-Cup coffee and use my French Press. Other than a little clean up time after use it really doesn’t take much longer to make a cup of coffee and the advantage is the grind is fresh. Truth be told, I haven’t noticed much difference in taste and, in fact, the breakfast blend beans I bought were a little to light for me. I had to throw in some Christmas Blend to provide a little more flavor.
Today I’m going really old school. I brought out the percolator with the clear knob on top where you can see the coffee bubbling up as it percolates. Buzzed Boomers will probably remember Grandma or Mom using a percolator. So there’s that aspect. Nostalgic. And the coffee tastes pretty good. Better than K-Cup? Not to me but I like looking at the percolator. Much more class than a Keurig or Mr. Coffee.
