I am not "new" to the french press, but I walked out of Target with a nice 8-cup Bodum Chambord tonight. I have looked at it before, and for $40 it was always just too much. Well, what would you know, it was on sale for $20!!! Needless to say I picked one off the shelf and into the cart. I will still use our Keurig for my morning coffee on the way to work, as I not only have a case of K-cups, but I have worked second shift for most of my life and I will be going to first shift starting December 2nd for a few months of training...I'll be half awake, and likely running low on time. Keurig! I have a Bodum travel french press somewhere, and the coffee made with it was always out of this world. Even 8 O'clock Colombian made with a french press was darn tasty! VERY smooth, strong but never bitter.
I did not, however pick up beans. I mean, really? I forgot the COFFEE to go with it I'll get out tomorrow after my morning Keurig cup o joe (Newman's Own Special Blend - I like it enough!) I have a cheap Mr. Coffee burr grinder that actually does an OK job.
Any advice? Like I said I've used a french press, always loved the quality of coffee did not like the cheapness of the travel press I had. This is a FAR better press...
Any readily available whole bean coffee that most places carry? I think the local store carries Green Mountain, not sure if they have whole bean though.
