A Nice Surprise

awsmith4 · 08-09-2009, 09:47 AM

Yesterday my wife Erika went to Target to get something for my son and when she returned she reached into the bag and handed me this!

A 3-cup Bodum French Press!!! I had never used a press so I spent the evening reading threads and after only 3 tries this morning (I am a slow learner especially before my first cup of coffee) I made a FANTASTIC cup of coffee! She said she remembered me talking about getting one and saw it sitting on the shelf and just had to buy it, she doesn't even drink coffee so it really was a selfless gift!

Not that she would ever end up reading this but THANK YOU HONEY!

Judging on the first "correct" pot I made you are correct!
