Coffee time!

I worked part-time at Dunkin Donuts as a second job for awhile (pay off at that debt!) and was very sad to leave all that glorious free coffee behind.

I'll still take a chai latte over coffee any day of the week, but could live on iced coffee with cream and splenda. At home, I've been digging the Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll K-cups with sugar free Vanilla creamer. It's like dessert for breakfast!

I put a French press on my wedding registry, for fancy weekend coffee.

I also use filtered water. Makes a big difference in the taste of the coffee, especially if you drink your coffee black.

Btw, Chivalryder and those of you who may have tasted coffee prepared using a french press and tasted coffee prepared using an Aero Press, is there a noticeable difference in the two end products?

It's easier to make consistent brews with an aero press. You can get slight variations when using a french press. It's more difficult to make it perfect every time.

Also, there are no grinds in your mug when you use an aero press.

You can also make it stronger with an aero press because you don't use much water in one - it's strong like an espresso when you brew, then you add water to dilute it, so you can dilute it to your taste.

It also uses fewer grinds.
