Well, here we are. We are at the start of a new, very wonky, school year. We are balancing school, work, life. You know, all the things. What are your tips and tricks for balancing it all and handling it well? Here is one of mine!
I will tell you this. I love that first cup of coffee in the morning. There is just something about it that helps set the tone for the rest of my day. With the chaos that is life right now, I don’t really have the bandwidth to run to get coffee daily or make it through the drive thru so I love that Woods now has a coffee subscription that comes right to my door.
I find if I allow myself this one simple pleasure it’s a small form of self-care. My husband doesn’t mind either because I always (well, usually!) share.
Here is how I make my perfect cup of Woods coffee in the morning in my French Press.
#1 – Grind the beans. I find that whole beans are so much more fresh. I have a Mr. Coffee grinder. Pro Tip: look at Goodwill for one!
#2 – Boil the water in an Electric Tea Kettle. You can boil water on your stove top too of course, but I like the electric tea kettle best. I accidentally left my tea kettle on the stove top once too long and all the water evaporated and my tea kettle burned and was ruined so now I’m paranoid.
#3 – Add ground beans to your French Press. The coffee package has directions on the ratio it recommends, however my grinder grinds enough for me to put all the ground beans in the french press and then add the freshly boiled water to about 1/4 of the way from the top of the French Press. I think mine is about 34 ounces.
#4 – Be patient for 4 minutes. This is the hardest part.
#5 -Push down the top of French Press and pour into your favorite mug.
#6 – Share with your family if you have extra.
#7 – You got this! Enjoy your day.
I have always been a fan of Woods Coffee and was super excited to find out they started a subscription service. They even offer free shipping, which is awesome.

I also think a bag of coffee from Woods makes a great gift! Think of those teachers doing so much. Bless them with a little help to get through the day. Get started today! (Note: the subscription does not come with the cute animals and mugs, but you can buy those too!)
