diana... i don't know very much about coffee either. i just know it's made differently & you get 2 cups (at least where we go..) so we shared. :D
you should order it & see if you like it. i usually don't love black coffee, but this was great.

Elsie do you use makeup? Can you tell us what's your favorite?

Diana, A french press is the BEST way to drink coffee! There is no filter so basically you grind your coffee super coarse and put it in the french press with some hot water. You brew it for 4 minutes then push down the handle/screen and that pushes the grounds away from the water. So you are left with coffee in its yummiest form with no paper filter to steal away your yummy oils from the beans. Hope that explanation helps. You can order one of your favorite coffee at Starbucks and it's only like $5 if you wanna try it. Like elsie said, it does normally make like 3 or 4 cups depending on the size of press you get so take a friend! Oh and you should get it with a pastry. Ask your barista to pair up a coffee and pastry for you. I'm telling you it's an awesome experience when you have say like Arabian Mocha Sunani with a double chocolate brownie. You might think you died and went to coffee heaven!
SO delicious! I work at Starbucks and drink a french press everyday! It makes me happy.

I love your 10 things posts! And your 4th of July photos were lovely! Thanks for sharing!

Cute pictures! And oh man, I LOVE french press coffee. Me and the hubs always share a french press when we go to our favorite coffee shop. We bought a press around Christmas time and we haven't used our coffee pot since. It really is the best way to make coffee. I usually drink an entire french press of coffee before I leave the house each morning. Don't be surprised if you never go back to regular pot-brewed coffee!

Elsie Cake,
I have been reading your blog for a while now...in fact, you inspired me to start my own blog. Your "10 Things I love Sunday" posts even influenced me to make my own list to examine my happy things. (http://mylifeinpiecesblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/10-things-i-love-sunday.html)
I love your free loving attitude and your amazing fun style. Seeing the visual candy and feeling the positive vibes on your blog have inspired me to live more creatively.

The TOMS are so comfortable. I love them. LOVE them. I have the silver TOMS, but I call them my fairy-god-mother-in-training shoes. Like a training bra - only cuter.
Posted by: Kal | July 07, 2009 at 08:38 AM
I want some TOMS! I think it's an awesome idea! I just can't decide on which pair I want!

Are those Fox wall hangings for sale anywhere? My son's name is Topper Fox and I'm always searching for Fox stuff for him.
