How to Make Damn Good Coffee with #TwinPeaks @Kyle_MacLachlan

How to Make Coffee with Agent Dale Cooper

'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.

Watch the video to get all of MacLachlan's java tips and don't worry, pie's included.
