Coffee Snobs

I had no idea there were so many of you! I thought I was just a snooty snatch when it came to martinis and coffee, and cheese, and thread counts, and, and, and...

We almost exclusively use our french press but I was thinking of getting one of these for my H and doing it up with some cotton something or others for an anniversary gift... Have any of you used one? He wants this option but, as much as I hate to break it to him, we won't have the trendy mason jars for drinking glasses forever. Or very much longer.

  • Im probably the biggest coffee snob you'll meet! I have used these (well something very similar) and they are great. In my opinion the coffee isn't as bitter as a French press can get but it's not as strong either. But great for bring over the flavors and super easy clean up.

    Hi snob! We usually do French press or make Americanos with H's new fancy-dancy espresso machine. When I worked at Starbucks, we used the pour-over method a lot when someone wanted something other than Pike's Place for a drip coffee. I find that there's less sediment than with a French press and it's better for making a single cup.

    Maybe you could get some cotton coasters as an accessory. Or, if you're into it, I think they make reusable cotton coffee filters.

    Oh, and I like the Mason jar style. I think they have some character :)


    I use to work at Starbucks too! 7 years through high school and college!

    My friend loves her coffee and she swears by those! I was addicted to my French press but sadly I've developed an awful sensitivity to coffee and can't drink it anymore :((
