Proud of Emma's New Article

 My wife, Emma, had an article published this week at Story Warren. I'm really proud of her article.


We both wrote articles the same day without telling each other. I knew instantly that her's was far better than mine. We both got our article published on sites that we love. I'm proud of her.

Brewing 16 oz of Coffee in an Aeropress--My Coffee Recipe

Image
I have a recipe for every type of brewer that I have (It's at least 5 off the top of my head). I wanted to share a recipe that I really like with my Aeropress because it was hard to find a good recipe for brewing a large cup of coffee in the Aeropress.
