I love my French press and the freshly roasted Sumatra or even, on well-to-do weeks, Kona blend from the Farmer's market. I do not have a burr grinder, so I am not cool. But I am getting there!

I am an especial fan of peaberries. Caribou has an exclusive supplier, La Minita, that is my favorite coffee altogether. I have yet to meet a peaberry that I do not like. Sadly, Quartermaine's, which I otherwise love dearly, does not have a peaberry that they roast.

I didn't think I liked peaberry until I tried that one.

Though I will also tell you that I'm with Kris in the "dump sugar and cream into the thing" category, so there is no way I will ever reach true snob status.

Slate had a good article yesterday comparing Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and McCafe

I am amused (and somewhat vindicated) by the fact that Starbucks came in dead last. Oh, hey, spoiler alert: Starbucks loses.

I like cold-brewed coffee, and I just read somewhere that you can make it using a French Press, so I am planning to try that.
(It's cheaper than buying a Toddy System or an HourGlass.)

According to http://www.cookography.com/2007/cold-brewed-coffee-using-a-french-press
you can make it with a French Press, 1 cup of drip-ground coffee, and 2 cups of water - just let it sit overnight to "steep".
Well, 12 hours. That's longer than just overnight if you ask me.
