Here at Roseholme Cottage, we use a manual drip coffee maker to get things started in the Ay Em...
RX: "Hey, your coffee water's ready."
Me: "I know. I put extra water in the kettle so I could listen to it whistle for a while. It's such a cheery sound..."
I'm so very easily amused.
I used to have one that made a sound like an air raid siren. Softly at first, then louder until I wanted to go to the Tube station.
ReplyDeleteWell ... at least you're not making coffee in the French style. Whew. For a moment, I was worried.
ReplyDeleteFrench press coffee is fantastic, regardless of its Frog origins. I almost always try to do a couple of cups on Saturday mornings with half-and-half.
ReplyDeleteDoes yours have the wooden collar? And how do they get that on there anyway?
ReplyDeleteLooking at the pictures on the web site, I would guess that the wooden colar is in two sections and just held together with the drawstring.
ReplyDeleteI looked them over and like them okay except,... the largest will only make ten cups. I go through a 12 cup pot by myself every morn (and sometimes in the evening too) I get three fillings of my cup from each pot.

It IS a cheery sound. I use a manual drip Melitta cone, and always add extra water to the kettle to make oatmeal. And occasionally to listen to that cheery whistle while I work.
