Grind Rinse Repeat

I wrote my one-click comparison for downloading Meet the Press while making coffee and thought it would be fun to contrast what I do in order to download the latest episode of a podcast (a relatively new concept) with the steps I go through in order to make fresh coffee:

  1. Fill the kettle with water and get it boiling
  2. Retreive the grinder and grind bin from the drying rack
  3. Replace the grinder and bin and set it to coarse grind
  4. Put about 15g of coffee beans into the grinder and press the button
  5. Retrieve the french press from the drying rack
  6. Remove the grinder and brush the inside
  7. Remove the grind bin and dump the grind into the french press
  8. Rinse and dry the grinder and grind bin
  9. Wait about 10 seconds after the water boils and pour the water
  10. Microwave a bit of milk in my coffee mug for 30 seconds
  11. Plunge the press after 3-4 minutes and pour into my mug with milk
  12. Enjoy fresh coffee

Just as dave says that his 22 step download only takes a minute, I don’t fret about the time it takes to make fresh coffee (except when I’m running late).
