Need a Pick-Me-Up?


You know those days where your lids barely stay open and it's only... ahem, 10:30am. And going to Starbucks frequently just isn't wallet-friendly. Plus, in order to leave the house appropriately (not like you've come from the dead), it would take at least another 20-30 minutes + 20 minutes to get Isabella ready... all of that just doesn't seem practical for a cup o' latte that I can't even finish.

The perfect solution: bodum french press! It makes greeaaattttt coffee--as light or strong as you want. AND it doesn't produce that bitter taste. Coffee shouldn't taste bitter but pleasant.

I grind up a few spoonfuls of beans until it looks like sand (not pebbles), then put into the press and add boiling/hot-hot water. I let it sit for awhile push the "press" part down and voila! A perfect cup.

Add sugar and creme to taste.
