My First French Press!5
I wanted to try a French Press coffee maker, mostly because I am the only one in the house who drinks coffee and I only drink two American-sized cups a day. I have a small drip machine, but the coffee it makes is kind of not bad, but not great either. I chose the LaCafetiere Verona 3-Cup press mostly because I thought it looked cute, and it was the size I wanted. A 3-cup press will make 3 4-ounce cups, or 2 6-ounce cups. I place two tablespoons of ground coffee in the press, and add twelve ounces of not quite boiling water. I stir it up with a plastic spoon, place the lid with the filter on top and let it brew for four minutes, then plunge the filter very slowly. This makes an exceptionally rich, delicious cup of coffee. In the meantime, I heat about half a cup of whole milk in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave, then use an Aerolatte frother to foam it up in the mug. Then I pour in the coffee. I like to top it up with a sprinkle of cinnamon, or Penzey's cake spice. It's just the best cup of coffee I ever had. The press cleans up nice, seems sturdy enough, and the filter keeps the grounds out (with some practice). The plunger is smooth and the handle of the press feels comfortable to a small hand. I look forward to many mornings of delicious coffee.

This coffee press is perfect for a person that uses only one mug of coffee or three expresso cups. I think it makes very good coffee just as long as you use stronger coffee and grind it for drip coffee.
