How to Make Coffee at Home – French Press and Peet’s


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Wirelesspacket asked me how I do my coffee at home. He spends too much going to buy his coffee every day, and doesn’t like the taste of “store bought” coffees. I was all too happy to show him how I use a French Press to make my Peet’s every day.

Alfred Peet: Roast in Peace

I intend for the title of this post to be humorous and reverent. Mr. Peet’s style brought a smile to my lips so many times that I only hope to pass that flavor along to the next coffee connoisseur.

Peets vs Starbucks

Jana seems like… someone who doesn’t deserve Peet’s coffee. Her review of the Redmond store through Judysbook was dated November 19, 2006 9:30 PM PST:

I admit that I am a Starbucks fan, but really wanted to give Peets a try. The minute I walked in I knew it would not stack up against Starbucks. The scones were dense & dry, the Freddo was disgusting and the ambiance was not comfortable.

Crashing Into Starbucks

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Chris lost over $100 (in fact, it ended up being a $500 deductable), here’s how:

It’s early in the morning when Chris & Ponzi are running late to shooting The Lab with LeoLaporte. Unfortunately they don’t have time to go to Peet’s, so they go to Starbucks.

Peets Coffee Addiction

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Chris is addicted to Peets coffee, but why? What does Peets offer that Starbucks does not?

Peet’s explains their coffee better than I can:

At Peet’s we take freshness seriously. It is only by roasting and shipping the same day that we can be sure that you enjoy the distinctive deep-roasted flavor of Peet’s. We call it “Roaster-to-Cup” freshness, and you can taste the difference. When you choose Home Delivery, we ship right to your home – it is the freshest of the fresh. It’s the apple right off the tree, the bread right out of the oven…you get the picture.

A Peet’s Story

From a Gnomie named Theo…

You keep mentioning Peet’s Coffee Tea and Spices, so here is a story.

Back before the ’seven day war’ in the Mideast, I shopped at Peet’s in Berkeley, CA. He always had good stuff, and the prices were affordable. I recall my like for his mocha java [presumably a blend of mocha coffee and java coffee - not coffee with chocolate flavor]. One day, I bought an bag of whole beans which was put inside another bag, stuffed into my backpack, and then bicycled home. I put the backpack down inside my room and within a minute the whole room smelled of that wonderful coffee. It tasted like heaven, and lifted my spirits the same way.

I Spilled Coffee All Over My Computer!

Ugh. This week is not off to a very good start. Then again, it’s almost halfway finished now. I was just exchanging instant messages with my dad (who just got broadband this afternoon) – getting ready to help him through a few software issues. To clear my mind, I needed caffeine – so I reached over to pick up my full mug of home-brewed Peet’s. My periphery vision is not what it used to be, apparently. KLACK! SPLOOSH!

Coffee Snobs

Dude. I just can’t stay off the juice! Last night, I was compelled to write about my experiences with the Tassimo machine (a wedding gift from Andru and Monica Edwards). Ponzi put it on our wish list – but I really wish the machine did more. Judging from the comments we’re getting, others do as well. Consider Pastor Scott Holder’s note to me a few minutes ago:
