And Now for Maxwell House in My French Press

When I was in the states a few months ago, I stayed with a friend whose kitchen hasn't been kosher for decades, so she got me a supply of pots and a French press for my morning coffee making.  Since then, I drink French Press coffee on most weekdays.  I also brought back home to Israel a few cans of American ground coffee.

When I finished up the last of that coffee, I tried making coffee in the French press with my easy to buy in Israel Elite Turkish coffee.  The flavor was fine, but the filter/plunger had trouble with the "muddy mess" that Turkish coffee grounds produces.  I went back to perking the Elite Turkish coffee.  Then a friend came to the rescue a couple of weeks ago and brought me Dunkin' Donuts coffee from the states, which is absolutely delicious when used in the French press.  And at pretty much the same time, my husband returned from a quick visit to the states with two types of coffee for me.

I finished the Dunkin' Donuts ground coffee much too quickly, so now it's time for Maxwell House.

 

Good to the last drop...

That is good coffee!

And Another Coffee Post: Don't Use Turkish Coffee in Your French Press!

A few months ago, a good friend gave me a present, a French Press, and I use it to make coffee on most weekdays.  She gave it to me when I was in the states on a visit, and she also gave me two packs of Yuban ground coffee. 

The Yuban was perfect with the French Press and also in my percolator when I needed hotter and stronger coffee, especially for traveling to my study day at Matan.

As they say, "all good things come to an end," and much too soon, so did my Yuban. So I used my Elite Turkish coffee which is great for the percolator.  But the much finer texture of the Turkish coffee makes it very hard to press down on the French press's filter.  I had to perk the morning coffee again.

But now a different friend came to visit, and she, being a facebook friend, too, knows all about my love for coffee in the morning.  She brought me a Dunkin' Donuts coffee.  So this morning I was able to use the French press again, and the plunger/filter went down easily, just as it should.
