I have never tried pressed coffee. Mrs. Jones, thank you for the inspiration. Oh and thank you for the nice things you said on that one thread about me. I did read that. I also think you are one the nicest, most interesting posters on JWN.

I have a portable Starbucks Press Cup that does the same thing. It's not the best thing since sliced bread, but I intend to bring it on our July 4 Apostafest so I can have my favorite coffee as long as a pot of hot water can be found.

Yeah OTWO, I'm bringing my french press too (a bigger one if I can get it in time) and a pot for hot water.

LOL, MrsJones- I recently got one and LOVE it too. Funny -OTWO, I thought that too, right when I read the first post: let's bring our French presses and have good coffee every morning!
So I have been reading up on the how-tos of French press coffee making and have refined my grinding- so, the electric grinders do not make evenly sized grounds and they also heat up the grounds too much (this does negative things to the flovor and with the oils). If you get a hand-cranked ceramic burr grinder you can get evenly sized ground and if your burr grinder is a conical one, it will not heat up the grounds.
So I have a hand-cranked conical ceramic burr grinder and I LOVE it too. It is so fun and relaxing to grind your own coffee every morning for the French press. What an experrience; the motions of grinding, the smell, letting the press steep. :) Mmmm.
