Wake me up…
Please Mother Nature. It’s March! Has no one told you? The endless dark and cold makes me even more reliant on my old friend (not you My Friend) than ever. Yes, coffee. From the pink mini Bodum press that I treated myself to as a student…
… to the little black plastic cup-top filter I use now, I’ve always got a whole cupboard full of coffee-making paraphernalia. But none of it is really that beautiful. I guess the fact that it provides an efficient stream of coffee is enough. But heavens to Betsy, I’ve just seen this on Amsterdam-based retro blog Kay Loves Vintage, and I want it so much. If I knew where she lived, I’d hire someone to steal it.
News just in…. I was just looking for a nicer picture of this modern version, the Julia, available from SCP…
… and where I actually ended up was here, and article on why filtered coffee is much better for your health than cafetiere stuff. Who knew? It’s like reading a prettier version of The Lancet, no?
let “s have coffee together, my place,lol
Hey Kay! I don’t really advocate stealing, but your coffee kit is so lovely. I enjoy your blog, and send greetings from Margate, which I know well. Here’s my round up of the new interiors shops there, although it needs a 2011 update.
