Yay for French presses. My morning coffee-making ritual consists of grinding beans (the type of coffee varies; mike and zack, as starbuck's employees, are each entitled to a free pound of coffee beans per week, so we constantly have a ridiculous variety of beans. even we can't drink 2-pounds-of-beans-worth of coffee in a week), tossing them in the coffeemaker along with requisite water and filter, then waiting on tenterhooks for a cup's worth to be brewed. I never have enough patience to wait for the entire pot to be finished, so every morning I do this wacky coffee juggle where I whisk the pot from under the drip, quickly replacing it with my coffee cup. Then I simultaneously fill my cup with both the stream of coffee from the coffeemaker and whatever coffee's already made it to the pot. Then I sit at the kitchen table and talk to the cats.
