Happy National Coffee Day, coming up on September 29th. But did you know there\u2019s also an International Coffee Day that happens on October 1st? That one, launched in Italy by the International Coffee Organization just 7 years ago, not only celebrates and promotes coffee, it\u2019s meant to raise awareness for the plight of the coffee growers worldwide. OK, I like that cause\u2014it\u2019s noble and not just commercial. It seems like both \u201cholidays\u201d are recognized depending on which country you\u2019re from, which just goes to show, for coffee lovers like me, every day<\/em> is Coffee Day.<\/p>\n

This month I took the new French Press coffee maker<\/b><\/span><\/a> from Zojirushi for a spin. It\u2019s a really sleek looking, well-made coffee maker of brightly polished stainless steel that incorporates Zojirushi\u2019s famous vacuum insulated technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be as objective as possible, I used the same coffee I usually drink, a medium blend that I had coarse ground for the French press brewing style. I used my water boiler set at 208\u00b0F (I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s super convenient to have one of these around), and stirred the grounds like the instructions say.\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of instructions, I think Zojirushi could have been a little less detailed with theirs. Can you believe the other side is also full of instructions? It was necessary though, to learn how to take it apart to clean it. If there\u2019s anything I love about Zojirushi products, it\u2019s the way they\u2019re designed to disassemble so you can clean it. I\u2019m serious\u2014I love that you can keep it thoroughly sanitized.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After brewing for a few minutes, it was time to plunge down slowly (the instructions say to take 10 to 12 seconds), and pour. Normally, I\u2019m not a fan of the French press way of brewing. I prefer the pourover, but I get why the majority coffee fans in the U.S. like this brewing method at home. It\u2019s faster, easier and actually greener (no throw away filters). My biggest gripe has always been that I\u2019m not a fan of the sediment the French press leaves behind. Compared to the paper cone filter that the pourover uses, there\u2019s just no way a fine mesh screen can filter out all the fine sediment from the coffee grounds.\"\"<\/a>But to be fair, it\u2019s just cloudy coffee. It\u2019s not like there were grounds at the bottom of the cup. And the longer you let the coffee sit, the clearer it gets because it settles. (This is an important point\u2014more on this later)<\/p>\n

Also to be fair, for guys like me who use cream in my coffee, what difference does it make that it\u2019s cloudy? Ha!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So here is my take on Zojirushi\u2019s new French press:<\/p>\n

PREP\u2014Super easy. The instructions call for 6 scoops for a full carafe of coffee (900mL); I brewed the full amount because I wanted to taste test the coffee at optimum. I only wish there were markings on the inside for water levels when making less than 6 servings; it would take out some of the guess work.<\/p>\n

BREW\u2014At first the plunger may feel like it\u2019s stuck, but it isn\u2019t. Just lift it to loosen and try again. I think the tightness is actually proof that the filtration assembly is precisely designed to catch all the grounds from leaking into the coffee, unlike some cheaper models.<\/p>\n

TASTE\u2014For my taste, it was a bit strong so I brewed a second time using half the amount of grounds. This was just right for me, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. Compared to my pourover coffee, this French press made it taste \u201cbrighter\u201d; if that makes sense.<\/p>\n

KEEP\u2014As expected from a Zojirushi insulated product, it didn\u2019t disappoint me after 2 hours of letting it sit. Of course the coffee doesn\u2019t have that just brewed taste anymore, but it was still hot enough to satisfy. The lid doesn\u2019t allow it to retain heat like a drink mug, but this was great for when you feel like having another cup later.<\/p>\n

CLEAN\u2014Lots of parts to wash, but I\u2019ll take this anyday over not being able to get to the nooks and crevices and letting debris build up.<\/p>\n

Overall, will it make me switch from my pourover? I don\u2019t think so, but if you\u2019re a French press person anyway, I think this one\u2019s for you. The filtration is excellent and the insulation makes this an ideal coffee companion for breakfast with friends, when people always want a second cup.<\/p>\n

To celebrate National Coffee Day, I tried a Coffee Milk Bread using my Zojirushi Breadmaker and a recipe from Apron<\/b><\/span><\/a>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This dough can be made easily in your breadmaker using with the \u201cHome Made\u201d setting, and simply adding brown sugar and instant coffee.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Divide the dough up into little balls and bake in your oven.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Came out pretty good! It was moist, with a little hint of coffee. It didn\u2019t have the smell of coffee like I was expecting, but it definitely had the underlying taste. It reminded me of the tea bread that I tried a while ago, which I thought was more aromatic.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For more ideas on how to use instant coffee, try these<\/b><\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s the perfect summer drink!<\/p>\n
