Brent I am with you on the Grind The Beans bit and I really like coffee out of the French Press. However, being a true "Type A" person, I don't take the time to do it very often.
Most of the time I am a "Poke the button on the Keurig" type of guy because it does everything (except drink the coffee) while I am doing something else.
Dang it. It is 10:00 pm and all I can think about is how good a cup of coffee out of the French Press would taste.
Enjoy,
Jim
ps. Man that lived across the street from me many years ago had a lathe, table saw and drill press in his kitchen. They were for real woodworking, not an artistic whim. He taught his daughter how to turn using that lathe---yes in the kitchen.
It is going to be interesting seeing what kind of responses I get to this.
