Attention all coffee lovers- your opinions?

I have an espresso machine, which I'm still practicing with to get that right. Had a nice long discussion in Starbucks with one of the baristas during a quiet spell. We had the manuals out and everything. Mostly I make Americanos with that. It's got a steaming nozzle, but that's getting no use right now.

I've also got a drip coffee maker, to make big 'ol pots of coffee for long writing or reading sessions.

And I have 2 French presses, one little one for a single mug (that's usually used in the morning) and a larger rather nice brushed steel insulated one.

And I still go to the Starbucks up the road loads of time.

I really like my FrenchPress too.
It's also wonderful for making leaf teas. I just made some Rooiboos Tropica and Green Dragon Pearls this morning in mine.. I love that cold.

Ooh, I've never tried using it for tea. Being a Brit of course I love my tea. I'll get some leaves and give it a go.

we are the same way! yum coffee! *clink of coffee mugs!*
