I use a Bodum french press to make my morning mug. I like the plastic framed ones better than the metal framed ones, which seem topheavy and clunky, comparatively. Crate and Barrel was selling a nice red one at Christmas- time. I...

For starter, I would just buy a #2 plastic cone filter to make single mug or cup of drip coffee. Put a #2 paper filter into the cone, place the cone on top of a mug. Fill the cone with the appropriate amount of coffee grind for...

Why does everyone spell it “Muggs”? Mugs Ale House is good. I go there all the time. Closed for reflooring this weekend, it should be reopen Tuesday. Near the Lorimer St station (L) is Barcade, on Union St. They have...

in blender and pour hot milk over it. Let sit for 30 seconds to soften chocolate. Blend until fully melted, about 1 minute. Pour into a huge mug and sip, sip, sip.

specified on Toddy’s website (8 cups? I forget) -refrigerate overnight to cold brew -slowly filter out the coffee grounds. I have a plastic manual drip that sits over a mug and am willing to filter batches of the cold coffee...

Hey Mugs, for one-park easy-access to Steppenwolf, Vinci used to be a pretty good bet. I had my first portobello mushroom there probably a decade or so ago, and at that time such now-common fungi were almost exotic. Vinci has...

I’d buy a French press and an electric kettle. I’ve done a side by side test with my drip and press. Press won out, no question.

really wants to be brewed in a pot of its own, so the next challenge is to find yourself a nice, single-cup pot. Those little Beehouse ones that are all over the place now look nice. Or one of those newfangled strainer-mugs. Or a...

PG Tips is a good, strong English tea that comes in pyramid-shaped bags. Given the strength, I’d only recommend it for a single cup if you have a mug that’s bigger than 8 oz., closer to 16, in fact. I recently found...

and the only one in the house, which coffee pot would you buy? Is there any great benefit to going to french press route? Of course, if french press is the way to go, then what about a grinder? Help!

know Timothy’s also offers tea KCups, but we haven’t tried them. I usually use the Keuring to make tea by instead of putting a coffee pod in, just pressing the button for “brewing,” then letting the hot...

I had this idea that they had actually closed that Homemade Pizza, but I could be wrong. There’s a middle eastern sort of place on the north side of Belmont that got some nice press when it opened. Can’t remember any...

Heh, I even saw a press/travel mug the other day in a store, which maybe solves part of the problem if this is a wake up coffee for the road situation. Still, some people don’t like coffee made using the press method, and...

Blue Bottle sells an array of things that make coffee—all non plastic. If I’m reading correctly you’re talking about the cone-shaped manual drip that sits on top of a mug; I know they use those but you’ll...

the mug, so there may be something wrong with yours. Or it could be the coffee god(s) trying to move the mug out of the way so that you don’t drink the ‘coffee’ that comes out of a Keurig.
