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.
