Heh I forgot to put that in my instructions above, I always warm my mugs also. When I pour water into the French Press, I pour it into the mugs as well. I leave it in the mugs till right before I'm ready to pour the first cup.
I also do the same thing with the espresso cups, I pull a blank shot to warm up the portafilter and cup.

I also do this (actually, the opposite, for ice cream and iced Cafe Americanos). I place the bowl or my cold coffee cup in the freezer for 5 minutes before putting in ice cream or iced coffee (don't want it watered down with too many ice cubes). |
