About two years ago I became a fan of French pressed coffee. I found the coffee was smoother than in my other preferred method, a Keuring. On weekends I happily used my French Press to make myself a treat; a better cup of coffee. The only issue with my French Press was that I found that I could not drink all the coffee I made in one cup. And when I poured the second cup, as the French Press carafe was made of glass, it was not as hot as the first cup.

About a year ago, I dropped my French Press and the glass carafe shattered. In looking the replace the carafe, I came across a French Press that was made of metal. I decided to give the metal French Press a try. The modification from glass to metal was major. First, I no longer had to concern myself with dropping the carafe. But, most importantly, the second cup of coffee was just as hot as the first!! I am now able to have two equally good cups of coffee on a weekend morning.

My metal French Press has now become my new favorite gadget. What’s yours?
