The Essential Tools of Excellence: 8: The Coffee Grinder & French Press

Man is a generalist. No harm in that: he/she is remarkably adept at adapting and to enhance this process has created a batch of tools which allows him/her to perform to the highest levels.

When push comes to shove, what are the essential Tools of Excellence?

8: The Coffee Grinder & French Press

Coffee should be smelt and seen as well as tasted. And it should be worked for: hand grind your coffee to the perfect dimension and amount as you contemplate the next stage of your day. Then place in a scrupulously clean glass French press and add just boiled water. Watch the brew, pour your cup and return to excellence.

Of course great beans need to be selected. But the best of beans are often spoilt by becoming stale or being over brewed.
