It's not exactly antique, It was made sometime in the 50's, it's stamped 'Made in West Germany', so it's prior to unification.

I got the press at that coffee roaster in the basement of the bike shop uptown, her coffee is pretty good too. <br />I use three heaping teaspoons, pour the boiling water over, stir for nearly a minute then press. Usually after the stirring I add a bit more water. <br />Cowboy coffee....put the coffee into the boiling water, stir, put a little cold water in and let it settle, right? An uncle used to add egg shells for some damn reason.

Did you experiment to discover the ideal grounds:water ratio? I start my day with a couple of cups, and as the semester progresses (and hours of sleep decline) I have more c. 10 and then again at 2... I'm not much of a gourmet about it, though--we have a German filter drip rig for morning, but I'm happy with French press or percolated. Favorite is probably cowboy coffee--I'll blog my secret recipe one of these days.EcoRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294159049375690786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524881400632979653.post-79760455048123942362014-03-15T05:28:09.420-07:002014-03-15T05:28:09.420-07:00Never gonna happen, my friend.
