I Didn't Know I Needed a Copper French Press Until Now
There's nothing better than a fresh cup of French press coffee on a chilly fall morning. As a former pour-over devotee, I've taken to borrowing my (very generous) roommate's press for the past month, and it's truly changed the way I think about my daily dose of caffeine. No joke: Lately, I've gone to bed each night looking forward to the mugful I'll drink the next day.
The more of a French press convert I become, the more I realize it's probably time I invest in my own handy device. I recently stumbled uponBodum's Chambord Copper French Presswhile innocently perusingAmazon's customer-loved gift guide, and I think I've fallen in love.
