Gourmet Coffee

After my in-law broke our only coffee press before the hurricane I need to add this to list of neccessities to have in case of a hurricane, a Frech press. Hurricane Wilma tore through our area this week and took out the electricity in our home for 3 days. On the first day, feeling confident since I had everything prepared, I fired up the grill and was ready to boil water for my coffee press. Then my wife explained to me that the glass in the Fresch press broke. I had to resort to pouring hot water through a strainer with a coffee filter.

So much for preparation for a gourmet coffee professional. The tip of the week, make sure you have a French press before a hurricane arrive. Oh, and grind your beans ahead of time.
