**Muddy** · 08-15-2009, 01:52 PM

Have you ever made your coffee with a french press?

wamm9512 · 08-15-2009, 02:15 PM

I have no idea what you're talking about plus I really don't like coffee

**Muddy** · 08-15-2009, 02:56 PM

Holy smokes! Is your name Cricket too???

This made me laugh out loud. (really, not that LOL thing but the kind of laugh that makes you worry you woke the children and your husband starts looking at you like you've lost your mind.)

Now, my name isn't Cricket (that I know of) but I have a response as well.

Yes, you are correct, Muddy, the Chambord french press is the best. I love mine.

I want to try making espresso with one of those stainless do-hickies that turn the water to steam and shift between the upper and lower compartments or something like that.

Then I could stay up all night.

Didn't know you were asking a person name Cricket a question. Sorry, thought Cricket meant nobody was posting hence crickets. My bad. Wouldn't it be easier to pm him your question?

But then the dramatic flair would be missing. Plus she wouldn't get that little surge of adrenaline (so similar to caffeine) when she sees the title. Thirdly, if I kept the use of a french press for making excellent coffee hidden from the public by using PMs, other coffee lovers might not hear about it and miss out on something of paramount importance in their struggling lives.

Good call and I should be ignored :p

**Muddy** · 08-15-2009, 03:52 PM

Au contraire mon ami! You should not be ignored at all! If I were a betting man, I would place a modest, nay, a sizable wager on you fitting right in here at V7N and we're perfectly pleased to have you may I add.

Thank you kind size. Glad to be here

**juliensimon** · 08-15-2009, 05:33 PM

I have rated this thread 5 stars and made it a sticky

that should add to the drama tone of the title

EDIT:

I "unstuck" the thread.

somebody please make me quiet.

**Cricket** · 08-15-2009, 06:46 PM

LOL! I needed this smile tonight.

Nope, I have not, but I have heard it is wonderful!

**Muddy** · 08-15-2009, 08:18 PM

Well! You simply have to rush right out and get one! I use an 8 cup Chambord. There are many styles, but this is the original. Elegant, functional and inexpensive. Best coffee you've ever had. I guaran-damn-tee it! You can pick one up at your nearest Target and in your case I checked and they have them in stock! So, no excuses! Naturally you have to use quality coffee...I recommend Starbucks French Roast.

I'll expect a full report on my desk by end of day tomorrow.

this one is at walmart for 20$ and is okay, but the glass breaks easy
my friend has bought two of them
he said you can get a good one on amazon for 40$ that is strong and wont break
I just stopped by his house yesterday and had a cup off his french press

I'm going to order one soon

he also has a grinder and grinds his beans fresh each time
it's wonderful

Sooo?

**Cricket** · 08-15-2009, 08:22 PM

For what I spend at Starbucks it just might pay to pick one of these up! Yummy!

**Muddy** · 08-15-2009, 11:17 PM

You might be thinking of the Brazil model which is 20 bucks. The Chambord is probably what your friend has. It's about $40. That's a good reminder about them breaking. Any of them will break easily if you use something metal like a spoon to stir, plus a spoon isn't really long enough to reach the bottom of the beaker. I've broken a couple too. Now I use a bamboo skewer and have no problems. That is to say, a skewer made of bamboo...

And I thought a public thread like this was to discuss the poor England cricket team showing in the test matches in England and was asking for help with how we could win the next Test match for a series win.

**Muddy** · 08-20-2009, 11:06 AM

You didn't get one yet, did you?

dWhite · 08-20-2009, 11:21 AM

Speaking of coffee....BE RIGHT BACK!

Scotto83 · 08-21-2009, 08:14 PM

I'm a huge fan of coffee
