My husband and I always come back to this method. We also always first put a little water in the coffee grounds to wet them before adding the rest of the water. <br />Love your podcast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810853697506831350.post-9547999050853484192011-03-13T14:25:35.575-04:002011-03-13T14:25:35.575-04:00I have a French press coffee pot and it has taken ...I have a French press coffee pot and it has taken me a while to get to where I like the stregnth of the coffee. I like how I can make my own one cup of coffee in the morning and save by not stopping at the coffee shop.<br />At Christmas my husband and I got an electric tea kettle. He was getting tired of me turning on the stove and letting the tea kettle steam and whistle while I was off in another room of the house. I love the new electric tea kettle. I had always wanted one here since I had one for a while when I lived in England.<br />Recently I was out of my yummy refrigerated coffee creamer so I opened up a can of sweetened condensed milk (that was just waiting to be used sometime) and put a large tablespoon or so into my mug of hot coffee. It is so good! I look for sweetened condensed milk on sale now so I can have it on hand.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983192841619715288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810853697506831350.post-32152054114813175542011-03-12T12:58:43.552-05:002011-03-12T12:58:43.552-05:00Jean, my husband is the coffee drinker in the hous...Jean, my husband is the coffee drinker in the house. I bought him the "Ready Set Joe Cone 1-Cup Manual Black (comes in red too!) plastic coffee cone. Price on the Melitta site is $2.99 - think it was about $3.50 in the grocery store. I've seen it in every grocery store I shop at and at Target. He loves the coffee and the ease in how easy it is to make. It does come with us on vacation! <br /><br />Enjoy! <br />Susan, aka The History QuilterSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123080518327486537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810853697506831350.post-91126166690800740112011-03-11T08:47:11.382-05:002011-03-11T08:47:11.382-05:00I never thought about how great it would be to tak...I never thought about how great it would be to take one of these cones on a trip- great suggestion.

He is always sure to bring it along when we travel.

It's great! I don't do anything fancy, I've just figured out how much grounds I like for the strength of coffee I prefer and away I go. Quick and simple and yummy!Heather D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07536310683899818314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810853697506831350.post-91833183044039548812011-03-10T14:03:16.015-05:002011-03-10T14:03:16.015-05:00oh yes, we have a couple of those in different siz...oh yes, we have a couple of those in different sizes. The little one travels with us on holiday! The only tip I have is that for a single cup I wet the coffee first with a little water, otherwise I find it goes straight through and is weak. Love it.
