>>French Press makes the best coffee
I don't drink coffee, but given our distance from coffee shops, wanted to provide coffee for friends/family who stay, but at the least possible long-term hassle for me. I asked a coffee fiend for advice and she said, without hesitation, "Get this," and sent me this link.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1UWJAW/An all-steel French Press that is insulated. No filters to buy. Nothing plastic. Takes up minimal space. It will probably outlive me.
Meanwhile, we have the same press and a Keurig in the rental because I noticed that a very very large percentage of our friends and family did not know how to use a French Press so I assumed many renters would be stymied too. So the "eco conscious" ones bring coffee and use the press and the rest use the pods (The problem with the press is they mostly had no idea how much coffee to put in and how long to wait until pushing the plunger - the basic mechanics of it are obvious).
I enjoy the smell of coffee and I even like coffee ice cream okay, but the taste of real coffee is just not my thing (which surprises me considering how much I like very very dark chocolate). So I've had fewer cups since college than I have fingers on one hand. So this press that hides high in the cupboard and comes out when family or friends stay over, is perfect for me.
