How To Make A Great Cup Of Coffee Without A French Press

How to make a great cup of coffee without a french press (or anything else) 4
Originally uploaded by Mr. phelps.

If your small french press is broken and all you want is a single cup of coffee utilize the utensils from around the kitchen to create a delicious cup of coffee. First find a cup (preferably stainless steel but porcelain will work the one in the picture is 16 oz). Next grind your coffee (I use 3 – 4 coffee-scoop scoops). Pour in hot water 30 seconds off the boil, let seep for 4 minutes, then strain into either a small wire strainer or multiple strainers to catch unnecessary grounds. Delicious (and it makes cleaning so much easier and faster)

Everett has traditionally been a drive-thru espresso town. Today it primarily is dominated by the overwhelming amount of drive-thru stands. Despite the majority of quick espresso service stations there are sit down coffee shops where an Everettite or visitor can sit and comfortably pass the time away. One such coffee shop is Zippy's Java Lounge purveyors of Hines Public Market Coffee and crusaders of coffee enlightenment. A community center where artists and locals can gather to enjoy a cup of coffee, food, or an ice cream soda. Wonderful.

My co-worker Karl and I ventured out on a coffee excursion to N Allen and Stone Way near the base of Wallingford to ``Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria & Espresso'' for some fine Italian Cuisine. Word on the street was that Tutta Bella was one of the few places in town that had a manual espresso machine (a rarity in Seattle) so we had to verify the rumor. We were greeted with very hospitable service and Attibassi Coffee pulled (like our sources told us) from a manual espresso machine in complete suave style. Very impressive!
