Au Revoir!

So I said goodbye to my dirty goddam french press a few weeks ago. I knew my parents were going to get me an automatic coffee maker for Christmas, so of course my french press SHATTERED on me 10 days before Christmas. I was mad for a moment, but then I remembered that I hated it. So I threw it in the garbage and for a while I was just dumping coffee in boiling water and letting it boil for a minute and straining it. Not bad.

And then I got my new maker. It is lovely, it has it's own filter to purify the water so I can just use tap water, and best of all, I set it so that it is already made by the time I get up. I LOVE IT.

The funny thing is, and the thing that I am only going to admit here where no one will read it, is that I miss my wonky french press. I miss the flavor. But don't tell my french press.
