Bodum Travel Press Demo

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Plagued By Mechanical Coffee Maker Malfunctions I Turn To The Bodum Travel Press For My Coffee Needs-Here’s A Demonstration Of The Bodum Travel French Press At The Dock

The thing about a french press is that by not having the paper filter you get a richness and you can see tiny pools of the coffee oils once you pour your coffee from the press into your mug.  A paper filter removes these oils and robs you of the best cup of coffee possible.

I’m really enjoying it.  If you do get a french press or travel press be sure to grind your coffee on the coarser side so you don’t get the sediment that would go through the screen with a fine grind. If you are having your coffee ground be sure to let the person grinding it know what type of device you will be using to prepare your coffee so they will grind it to the proper coarseness(is that a word?).

I love the color of the overhead in the entranceway to the Saunders section of The Sawyer Free Library which Steve Goodick and Mikey DeFalco have been painstakingly and carefully renovating back to it’s former glory with generous help from the benefactors The Dunsky Foundation.  I’ll be getting a more in depth interview with Michael DeFalco this week.

bridgeI can’t get the timing right to get to work in Manchester by 8:00. Either the A. Piatt Andrew Bridge is backed up to the 2nd rotary or this one’s up!

Here is one of the many displays at the GMHC.  Depicted is a schooner fisherman in a bosun’s chair.  The Bosun’s Chair is what would get hoisted up to work on the rigging up on the huge schooner’s masts.  In a couple of weeks this exhibit will be open to the public as Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center will kick off it’s 2009 season.
