Cafeolette

Today I learned that being a connoisseur of coffee does indeed merit its snobbish undertones. Today, I purchased and used a coffee press to make a very rich, delicious brew of coffee. The process is rather simple and somewhat archaic (no electricity needed). One begins by putting water aboil, and once the water is boiling, coarsely ground coffee is poured into the bottom of the coffee press and the hot water is poured in afterwards. Be careful that the cafeolette is not cold (the glass will explode). Carefully stir the slurry until there is a nice foam atop the mixture, now wait four to five minutes for the coffee to steep. Now take the plunger/filter and slowly press the coffee (weird, huh?) This leaves the grounds on the bottom separated from the goods. There you have it. I must say that you should be careful though. Drinking coffee prepared from said method may induce other elitist tendencies (i.e. - blogging, using a Mac, wearing toilet water, etc.).
