stone counter, dark stained bent plywood seating, nicer dishes, mugs and silverware, great pressed tin ceiling. The whole thing is very classy, and of course it’s much more spacious, with a greatly expanded open kitchen....

every where. So now I’m looking for a coffee maker that will make a couple of cups at a time that works well. I know French press-style coffee makers make great coffee, maybe the best, but there’s a trap with them. You...

once won’t do it. For those who’ve never paid, bear in mind that we can’t run on fame, press clippings, and good vibes. Quite the contrary, because the high traffic makes our bandwidth charges enormous. You may...

I want to make individual cups of drip coffee and I purchased a plastic drip thingy that goes on top of a mug and some filters to fit it, from Peet’s. But I can’t seem to get strong coffee. The coffee looks watery. I...

coffee inside and it’s dispersed by putting a mug under the spigot and pressing...

Cleanup is simpler with paper filters than with a French Press (i.e. steep and strain). The Melita #2 filters with plastic holder is a compact set up. If you can heat water in the microwave you don’t need anything other a...

I saw Paula Deen make some cups out of dough. She cut a round out of biscuit dough (or something like that) then pressed them over the backs of an over-turned muffin tin and baked them that way. They’re a bit on the small...

ackie, For Joliet info Mugs is your man, if he can’t do it no one can! (what the hell has gotten into me? smile) In addition to watching for posts by Mugs, TonyG, D Dickson and a host of others, you can start by going to the...

I agree – this is an extremely capable, extremely cheap grinder. Adjusting the grind is fairly easy, and the grind is fast. It has a stepped bottom for use on GSI’s french press pots, but I just use it over a bowl or...

I drink it black so can’t help you there. I use my travel mug to make it. Not sure how big that is? Standard travel mug size, whatever that might be. Remember, it’s good for what it is. I’d much rather have a...

it happens, but it really freaked me out the first time. Even more freaky is to nuke coffee & milk/cream/whatever in a cup which narrows slightly as it goes up. A mug shaped a bit like a beanpot or a beehive, for example. If you...

of dessert — chocolate, preferably — that’s simple, as well as the option to serve coffee. We have no coffee pot. Suggestions? I have Bodum tea press and several tea balls. Should I just make tea? Would that be...

Use a french press. You’ll never go back.
