First of all, restaurants are in the business of pampering you so they devote much more time to the perfection of a good cup of coffee. Sometimes I’ll remember a restaurant just because of their excellent coffee.

So what are their secrets and how can you duplicate this recipe at home? It may surprise you to find out that the French Press brewing method could be the secret in achieving that restaurant quality taste.

Most fine restaurants use a press pot, also known as the French Press, which produces an extremely rich cup of coffee.

Press pot coffee is coffee steeped for 3-4 minutes between 195 to 205 degrees F. It produces a thicker and much richer taste than an auto-drip machine can produce.

A disadvantage of the French Press is it may leave trace amounts of coffee sediment. But the rich taste more than makes up for the small amount of sediment at the bottom of your cup.

For a pleasure you did not know existed in a BLT try using a rye bread or a whole wheat that is deep in color with a rich molasses flavor. Then instead of simply mayonnaise couple the mayo with a spicy brown mustard or a Dijon mustard. If you are looking to spice up the sandwich use chipotle mayonnaise and thin sliced pepper jack cheese.

For a simpler taste that pleases even the most die hard BLT fans try a light wheat bread, traditional yellow mustard, mayonnaise, thick sliced deli bacon, ice berg lettuce, tomatoes and a layer of white cheddar cheese.

If you are one of the health conscience and want to eat a salad instead of a sandwich why not try a BLTS. That is a bacon, lettuce, and tomato salad. Start with a layer of fresh ice berg lettuce, the spring mixes and mescaline mix salads are too heavy a green for BLT’s. Ice berg is light and crisp and lends itself well to the flavors of a BLTS.

Then on top of the ice berg lettuce place chopped thick sliced smokey bacon. If your butcher has bacon behind the counter it is almost a sure bet that this will be a better choice than the pre-packaged varieties. When it comes time to choose a tomato think about trying a new variety such as a Cherokee purple or Sweet Tangerine. These fresh out of the garden can add a new and delightful flavor to your BLTS. If one of these varieties of tomato are not for you stick with the always wonderful Beefsteak Tomato.

To top off the BLTS make a dressing using chipotle mayonnaise blended with a small amount of milk to thin it and sprinkle on top shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese.

The first decision you must make in choosing a coffee maker is what type of filter you would prefer. You can choose a basket type filter or a cone shaped filter, the difference in the two being different contact times between the coffee grounds and the water. A basket type filter seems to provide a longer contact time between the water and the coffee grounds, so if a basket filter is your preference, make sure you use coffee grounds that are fairly large. Cone type filters are generally less prone to spillage. If you are considering a gold tone filter, it will give your coffee a richer taste, but the upkeep may not be worth the small difference.

The color of your coffee maker is not a major concern, but keep in mind that if you choose a color that is pleasing to you, your coffee will seem to taste better. The only real issue involved in the color of your coffee maker is to remember that white stains easily and tends to look old rapidly. A dark color will look new a lot longer than a white coffee maker. Coffee makers with a pot that has a long neck will be harder to clean. If you cannot easily wash the coffee pot with soap and water, your coffee will taste stale over time due to the build up of residue that cannot be cleaned easily. Make sure your entire hand can fit inside the coffee pot to make cleaning easy.

Other than the basic features, which include color, filter, ease of cleaning, etc., there are some additional features that you may want to consider. If you don’t mind your coffee grounds being exposed to air overnight, a timer is a wonderful thing to have. Timers will allow you extra time in the mornings and if you choose a coffee maker with an attached grinder, the noise would probably eliminate your need for an alarm clock. A feature that is often overlooked is the shape of the housing around the coffee pot. Many manufacturers are making the housing larger so that the coffee in the pot stays hotter. The housing area in any good coffee maker should cover at least half of the coffee pot, the keep heat in.

In general, coffee that is freshly ground tastes better. Grinders that are attached to coffee makers are a bit of a hassle. They make the coffee maker harder to clean and the coffee beans are not always ground uniformly. If you want a coffee maker with an attached grinder, look for a burr grinder rather than a blade grinder. You may also want to look into a coffee maker with a built in water filtration system. Filtered water does tend to make the coffee taste better, but purchasing distilled or purified water can serve the purpose just as well as a built in water filtration system.

For the perfect pot of coffee, the water temperature needs to be around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, the less expensive coffee makers do not reach this temperature. Most of the better brand names will advertise the temperature you can expect your coffee to reach while brewing. Choosing the right coffee maker is not easy. Make sure you purchase from well-known manufacturers. You will be able to find replacement parts and will be assured of an acceptable level of quality. Choose a coffee maker that meets your basic needs and any has additional features you desire.
