[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Drew.
When I think of a regular coffeemaker, I think of something with at least
a few buttons, plugs in, and has a filter and a pot.  The French press is
only a pot with a plunger/metal filter.  You boil the water separately,
then pour it over the grounds in the French press.  When you think it's
steeped long enough, you push the plunger, and all the grounds are pushed
to the bottom and held there.  Mine doubles as a thermal cup.  It's a very
simple device.
