How To Make Coffee With Agent Dale Cooper Video
'Twin Peaks' star Kyle MacLachlan shows us how to make "damn good coffee"
With 90s cult-classic Twin Peaks poised for a comeback, it's the perfect time to remind ourselves just how important a role food played in the show.
Take Agent Dale Cooper's ardent passion for a good cup of black coffee and his uncontained enthusiasm for cherry pie, for instance—now that's something we can understand. So we obviously were thrilled that actor and real-life coffee connoisseur Kyle MacLachlan offered to show us exactly how a cup of "damn good coffee" is done.
Here's how Agent Cooper makes the perfect cup of joe:
(1) Add 85 grams of coarsely ground dark-roast coffee to a 6-cup French press.
(2) Boil water, then let sit for 30 seconds until just off-boil.
(3) Pour the water into the French press.
(4) Steep the coffee for 4 minutes, then press the plunger down into the press.
(5) Enjoy your coffee hot and black.
