Coffee .....what? a post just about coffee.....um.....YES!

First of all I want to really specify that you need to buy organic coffee from a trusted source.  Coffee is one of the highly sprayed plants, so make sure you buy organic.  I wanted to talk about this today because I have tried to come up with the best mixture for coffee.  I have messed around with different things. After researching coffee machines etc., I decided to get a french press.  I like things easy, and simple.  You can also make loose tea in this.  I can't speak for other french presses but this is the one I bought and have loved it....   To hold the heat in after I add the water, I put a clean towel right over the french press....it keeps it hotter.

I grind my own beans in this & L💛VE the whole process from hearing it grind to the smell....SO YUMMY!

Add ground coffee, pour 200 degree water, stir, put lid on with presser up and let sit for 7-8 minutes.    Push the presser down and your coffee is ready!  An awesome benefit to the grounds is you can mix them with a little olive oil or coconut oil when they cool down and you have an awesome body & face scrub.
