Here is the truth – although your Keurig makes your life easier, the taste of coffee that you get from it resembles the taste of brown water. You deserve better. The way you struggle with all the mess created by your toddler and studying in school deserves something more than just a quick shot of some coffee. You will get the real pleasure from drinking the coffee from French press.
The thing is that I do understand. You can barely find one minute for yourself to wash your teeth while your child keeps crying. But the whole brewing process will take you no more than four minutes, which is the time you will spend to find the almost clean sippy cup among another one.
You have to boil your water using electric kettle and pour your coffee grounds directly into the glass carafe. Your coffee has to be coarsely ground like sea salt, not like a dust in the standard package of this product. In case your coffee is too finely grounded, it might become bitter and murky.
Now you have to pour your boiling water over coffee grounds and stir gently using the wooden spoon. Put the lid on the top of it, without pressing the filter, yet. You may take a walk around or send an email using your phone – you will need exactly four minutes.
When the time is up, press the filter slowly and steadily. You will enjoy the smell and taste of freshly brewed coffee without any burned plastic smell. You will feel like a real person after this sip of the coffee.
Cleaning up will be rather easy. All you have to do is to shake all the grounds into the trash bin and rinse your glass carafe. You will not have to use any expensive plastic pods. It will be cheaper, taste better and bring some calmness to your hectic morning. To be honest, pod machine has to be just decorative.
