The aroma when brewed using french press is absolutely amazing and refreshing while the body is a medium-light making for a well balanced cup of coffee. If you want to experience an Ethiopian or really any coffee in a completely different light try using a coffee siphon. The aroma is much more pronounced using a siphon or vacuum pot. I love using brewing methods that bring out the aroma, smelling is such a huge part of enjoying food and drinks, one that is usually usurped by taste.

I don't drink coffee. Did I just say that??? Yes, it is true, I'm a tea fanatic thru and thru. However, I have a french press so that when I have guests I can offer them coffee. This little wonder is easy to store away for non-coffee drinkers, but makes a rather tasty ol' cup of Joe. Quite possibly the best XMas gift I received from a student aside from Starbucks gift cards (hint, hint). I love the french press. I don't drink coffee. Did I just say that???
