Coffee Snobs Take Heed

I recently spent some time with a couple of lovely coffee snobs.
According to them, the water you use in your Bodum French press or Melitta cone must first be boiled, then cooled for exactly 6 minutes before pouring it over your meticulously ground, organic coffee beans.
Granted, their coffee tastes delicious (even though they don't use filtered water!) but it's an awfully time-consuming process.
I found the solution! Take the kettle off the flame 6 minutes before it boils! In essence, saving yourself 12 minutes.
Or, just go to Starbucks like the rest of the galaxy.

In reality, you are supposed to pour the boiling water into the press, then the grounds on top, so as not to singe the coffee. Your snobs aren't that smart, just bitchy.
