Press Pot Coffee Comes To Granville Coffeehouse
Several months ago, we introduced an alternative option for our Newark location customers who enjoy brewed coffee. Using press pots or what some call “french presses” to prepare coffee is a process already used at home or at work by many folks. Since this coffee preparation process is a bit more labor-intensive than drip-brewed coffee, there are not many coffeehouses which provide this option (and, no, it is definitely not an option at Speedway or Tim Horton’s!) Now…we are offering this option at the River Road Coffeehouse Granville location.
Let us provide some pros and cons for the press pot option…
The positives:
- your coffee is fresh ground and fresh brewed just for you!;
- you have a wider choice of origin coffees and blends as well as roast levels from which to choose. We typically have at least 5-6 options which always include at least one dark roast, one fair-trade and 3-4 origin coffees and blends;
- you can leave the coffee in the press pot and pour smaller quantities as you drink; and
- since the press pot does not use a paper filter, you savor the taste of all of the beans’ flavors and oils.
The negatives:
- the coffee preparation process takes about four minutes…so it’s not conducive to the drive-thru customer or the customer who is running late for work; and
- since the press pot does not use a paper filter, you savor the taste of all of the beans’ flavors and oils (hey…you may not like the taste of some of those oils!).
Granville customers may want to find the special 2009 Community Calendar recently mailed to all residents courtesy of the Granville Area Chamber of Commerce. There’s a special coupon on the January calendar which allows you the opportunity to try a press pot of coffee “on the house!”
