Not a recipe, but a general rave. Coffee made in a french press kicks all other coffee ass. I use a basic Bodum press and the coffee that comes out is dark, delicious, and without all the nasty sputtering all over the counter. Yes, it takes a minute to clean and reassemble each day, but even a lazy bum like me can suck it up when the result is marvelous caffeinated flava.
Additional note--buy your coffee whole bean and store it in the freezer. This is especially good for flavored coffee, because the oils that make it taste all Snickerdoodley can go rancid and gross-tasting if not used quickly or preserved properly. I usually grind all I'll need for the week on Saturday or Sunday and keep it in a canister on the counter, then save the remainder sealed tight in the freezer. I'm almost through with a pound of Coffee By Design...and savoring every last drop. Damn you, Maine and your faraway stores of good coffee and beer!!
