Coffee for one please!

I use to drink a lot of coffee.  Maybe a one-cup-a-day-kind-of habit.  About a year ago, bound by some anxiety stress and wedding planning, I quit.  Cold turkey.  It's not that bad actually.

Now, I'll have a cup on the weekends.  Wanting to evoke this "grown-up" image, I decided not to reintroduce the Hello Kitty coffeemaker into our kitchen.  So I've been on the hunt for a french press.

When Starbucks had a special, I got one of these.

It was cool and dandy, but ultimately too big and too hard to clean.  I will use this when we have people over, but not really ideal for little ol' me.

Close, but still no cigar.  The taste wasn't the same as the Bodum french press.

The hunt continues!
