How to Make Coffee at Home - French Press and Peet's

http://live.pirillo.com - Wirelesspacket asked me how I do my coffee at home. He spends too much going to buy his coffee every day, and doesn't like the taste of "store bought" coffees. I was all too happy to show him how I use a French Press to make my Peet's every day.

I actually walked into a starbucks at the atlanta airport and ordered a cup of "black coffee" the teeny bopper behind the counter looked like she just crapped a brick. and said um is that like expresso, cappucino or what? I looked at her and said no no no just black coffee, she then said oh lemme find out if we can make that, she came back and said that no one there knows how to make black coffee. Moral of the story, Starbucks employees in general are idiots, Make your own!!!

You stir it so the grounds get soaked, then you let it sit. Idiot.

Uhh, when you make coffee in your own place and not in your parent's kitchen, then let us know...

@legify4mod yes, because you are a coffee expert.

I like coffee.. i am addicted to it..

i make my coffee with an 10 euro coffee machine..

i grind the beans with an very very old hand grinder..

it works great.. and the coffee machine was cheaper than any french press i could find! and the coffee taste about as good to be fair.. one point.. i need 2 times more beans per cup in the machine to get the same taste so i might end up spending more but it is easyer to do...

you say HALF AND HALF and etc ruins the taste but if you put anything into a french press coffee you ruin the taste. period

A lesson on internet decency to some of the commentors here: If you wouldn't say it to the person's face, then don't write it in a comment.

Try some Proper Turkish Coffee and you will never regret that ! It's one of the oldest method to make coffee even before espresso :)

I work at a coffee shop... the best temperature is 140... 160 if you want it extra hot. No hotter... it ruins the taste.
