How in the hell do you shatter your work FP? Which one was it? Are you using the carabiner one?

Are there differences in quality as far as french presses go? I was thinking of making Michael a coffee station for his office with a french press, a grinder, a coffee canister and a few nice mugs for our anniversary. How do you heat the water for the french press?

It was a cheep one I got at Ikea - so no big deal expense-wise

I brought in my own hot pot as the alternatives I had was using the hot water tap on the bottled water dispenser (not nearly hot enough) or the microwave (too much a bother).

I picked up some cheep latte cups and saucers at Ikea which work great for me, I have a pair to I can share with anyone visiting my cube.

Is there a Peet's in the DL general area or will a road trip be required to sample this famous local brew?

KEEN is great. I go there often. It is neat to see Martin there also.

Cordless electric kettle!

How is it electric if there is no cord?

I saw an awesome tea press whilst looking for a french press. It rocked. I'll see if I can find the link again.

It fits onto a base that powers it while boiling, then you lift it off to pour. Target has many varieties. Here's an example. I fell in love with this appliance while in New Zealand, and now don't know what I'd do without it. I have been mocked for my love. Mine automatically shuts off when it boils so it won't boil dry.

Try this for tea. They're not joking when they call it perfect.

I do wish it came totally apart for the occasional good cleaning, but that would just make it more perfect.
