That $15 french press I bought for camping changed my whole 3pm slump

My buddy Jake swore I was wasting money on those single cup pods, said a cheap french press would do the same thing. He gave me his old one during a fishing trip last month and told me to just use it at work. I brought it in on Tuesday and made a batch of dark roast around 3:15, and honestly it hit way harder than I expected. The fuller taste and the fact I could pour a second cup without grinding another pod made my whole afternoon flow better. I even started measuring grounds with a spoon, which sounds silly but it's consistent now. That little press is now a permanent desk item, and I'm thinking about grabbing a nicer one with a metal filter. Has anyone else switched from pods to a press and noticed a big jump in their afternoon focus?

Ha! Next you'll be roasting your own beans over the campfire.
