I was browsing through
this library book last weekend and got inspired. I made a French press cozy out of 2 pieces of a felted sweater.
Sandwiched 3 elastic cord loops between the layers, and picked out three odd buttons from my stash. I thought the black was a good idea for my black-loving husband who drinks more coffee than I do.
It was fun
sewing therapy, even though the cozy looks decidedly homemade. But it does really keep the coffee warmer longer.
I still haven't made a cozy for
my teapot, although sometimes I design it in my head as I'm falling asleep at night. Oh, the lovely possibilities!

What a good idea. I remember when I had a French press (before my son broke it) and it was SO HOT on the side. A cozy is the perfect way to protect yourself.
Makes me want to get another French press.
And you questioned my request for a Sigg cozy several years ago... :)
I have a tea cozy that was handmade in England (thereby actually a "tea cosy") and I love it - let me know if you want a picture or dimensions. Mine is quilted; the knit ones are fun also!

S, I forGOT that Sigg cozy! And I didn't know the spelling difference - woops. I'd love to see your cosy.
Super cool! Must put this on my to-do list!
Love this!!!
I have been debating about whether to buy a french press and give up the coffee maker. The one minus I can see so far is that my husband sets the coffeemaker to be ready for me when I awaken (which is about 2 hours after he leaves the house--he's out EARLY). Maybe once the children are older and I'm not so pitiful in the morning.....I really think they are superior!
Polly, it's a luxurious morning around here when we use the French press. We have a drip coffeemaker too for the normal rush-rush morning. When we have guests, we employ both methods to make decaf and regular.
