0, I don't fry any food
However, you could call me a steamer

Just made nearly a full gallon of nog using a doubled up version of Joshua Weissman's recipe for tomorrow and christmas can't wait to sip it while watching a christmas story, watching my nieces open their presents, and cooking
Sorry about blogging like a fag but cooking and the idea of my nieces being happy is just probably the only thing that keeps me going

>make french press coffee for 5 years
>past 1 year twice a day instead of once
>brew for 4 minutes, then add my heavy cream, occasionally a pinch of salt
>yummy
>start to get really sick and tired of washing the damn things
>about to get really really busy, need every available moment for my business and my studying, can't spend so much time washing them
>also sick of wasting lots of water washing them
>decide to get filter papers instead, seems so much easier
>read about how the papers filter more stuff including oils
>don't like the sound of that but decide overall it will still be worth it
>new way of brewing coffee is to fit the filter paper into my mug, put muh coffee in, pour the water, after 4 minutes take the 'bag' out but let it drain for 1-2 more minutes so it all gets out

...it's just not the same ;_;
It's definitely lacking ;_;
The richness isn't there
Feels like I'm not getting the full spectrum of flavor, if you think of it like sound, or like touch sensation, there are definitely parts of the spectrum missing now
Also lacking that kick, that je nais sais quois
Those oils the papers filters out but get through a french press are probably key to a lot of things

But it's so much easier and less time consuming. I can't go back to washing french presses all the time, I'm gonna have to stick with this. Even though it isn't as good.

Press F to pay respects to anon's 5 year french press odyssey
