Brewing the Perfect Cup of Coffee
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
A post I wrote on what I’ve learned about brewing great coffee just went up on Art of Manliness. Here’s a brief excerpt:
Every man should know how to brew a decent cup of coffee. It’s an everyday skill that should be passed down from father to son, like shaving or mowing the lawn. It’s a manly ritual providing both utility and comfort. Unfortunately, if you asked most men today for a cup of coffee they would either cast a worried, “help me!” glance to their wife or crank up the jet engine on their latest $300 instant coffee contraption, capable of grinding, purifying, and outputting unnatural amounts of brown acidic liquid, tasting something akin to lava, but definitely not coffee.

I don’t even drinkcoffee anymore, but I know how to make a good cup! Lol, I was taught this art by my girlfriend and definitely have to thank her for it. French press is by far my favorite method. Now I brew loose leaf tea that way and it works just great.
Cameron,
I’ve been a lurker of your blog, as well as ‘Art of Manliness’, for awhile. Big fan here.
My first (and perhaps last?) comment: who brews a cup of coffee anymore? I haven’t the slightest how to brew a CUP. However, do know how to brew a POT of coffee. And I drink the whole pot. That’s manly. I do not recognize the “cup” as a unit of measurement as a coffee connoisseur.
@Kendal,
To answer your question, “who brews a cup of coffee anymore?” I brew a “cup” of coffee on most mornings in my french press. That’s one of the best things about most french presses is the ease with which you can make a small amount. No use producing enough coffee to service a small midwestern gas station when it’s just you and maybe one other person drinking it.
I recognize that most people have standard coffee makers and tend to make “pots” of coffee, but I prefer making mine in smaller amounts in a french press. You should try it, you may like it.
Looks like I jumped the gun on my post…didn’t even consider the french press.
I actually have one and my wife and I use it several times a week.
:-X
Thanks for a great post.
