Late night coffee has to be the fuel that drives the Internet. Here’s the story of one perfect cup!

I was only about 10:00 pm. Yeah, it had been a long day, but not a hard one. Lots of time on the keyboard, dinner encouraging me to nap, and a few more  social media chores to be done before bed all contributed to this cup of coffee.

Vickie was up working on CulinaryClique.com, trying to get a few more awesome recipes posted. As she often does, she had already setup the coffee maker for tomorrow morning, so that all that would be required was a stumble into the kitchen and click the button. But that was a couple of hours ago. With at least another hour or so to go we both wanted a cup. The challenge was on.

A few months back I picked up a press pot while I was on the road. The spartan accommodations I had that trip left me in a hotel room without a coffee pot. I’ve only used it a couple of times and had not been all that excited with the outcome… but my nagging craving for caffeine was calling and I had to answer. Not wanting to ruin it, I did what all good web geeks do… I Googled it.

Well, lets just say I hit the mother lode! Over at CoffeeGeek.com (isn’t that a perfect name!) I found How to Use a Press Pot! It not only gave me step-by-step instructions but pictures to boot! (One of which I borrowed for this article. Thanks guys!) With the exception of using the “right” kind of grinder, I followed the instructions to the letter and man, did it come out great! Well, great enough for me to sit down and write about it!

So a big, hearty, energized thanks goes out to Mark Prince, the Coffee Kid, over at CoffeeGeeks.com. Next time your over there, tell him Thom and Vickie sent ya! And try a press pot, you might just like it!
