Here is our coffee maker. Isn't he cute?
This lil darling is our #1 survival tool.
Good thing we love him so much, cause he's expensive. 
For the 2 of us we always make 10 cups of coffee. We almost always throw away at least 2 cups.We have to buy filters and use electricity to get it going and even more to keep it warm for the 2 hours it takes us to consume that delicious java.
Say hello to Monsieur French Press. We bought him for $2 at a yard sale. It makes 4 cups at a time. Just fill this Parisian gentleman with coffee grounds and boiling water and....PRESS! Voila'! Sorry buddy you've been replaced. Now we just have to invest in some fair trade, organic beans and get a manual grinder
(Side note we ran white vinegar through the old automatic to clean it and put him in storage, just in case)
Well we need to have a slumber party so i can try the fancy new coffee making process. Ok, i know its a more simple process than anything fancy, but until i taste it, im skeptical.
ReplyDeleteRegarding a coffee grinder: Dont buy one! (Pretty Much) Anywhere you can by loose coffee beans, you can grind them. Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Harvest Market . . . . . Acme, anywhere. Even if you were to buy a factory sealed closed bag of beans, you can open it, pour it in the grinder, and have them grind into the bag. So bottom line, dont waste the money, and use the grocery stores electricity, and grind it there.
Lastly, it doesn't necessarily have to be fair trade AND Organic, but as long as its fair trade you can feel ok out buying, but of course being organic as well is better.
Good call on the in store grinding! One less thing to purchase.
