I'm totally amazed at the nice flavor the press pot produces.
And I am using a very fine grind of coffee (which I don't think you
should) that I had 'laying' around.
I am planning on taking mine to work also for my flavored coffees
also.

I've told my neighbor about it and (in case anyone is wondering)
I sent her these links I found a little while ago.
I was scared that I would goof up my first cup, so with notbob's
help and these links... I am enjoying some great coffee!!

I'm going to make another few cups now. I think I've become
addicted. It's so easy and so good tasting.
