I have to admit that when I first heard Texas Steakhouse was going to implement a new coffee product and it was going to be brewed using a French Press, I thought the CEO had lost his mind. What does anything French have to do with Texas and how in the world are we going to sell a $2.99 coffee when Starbucks is on every corner? And then I got to try it.

From the moment the server brought it to our table, it was an experience. The small silver pot was filled with locally produced 8th Sin grinds stirred with some very hot water. We were informed that we should wait a few minutes while it brews. The coffee aroma was so alluring I couldn’t wait to press the coffee into the bottom of the pot and pour the first cup.

Wow! Finally a cup of coffee in a family restaurant that I can actually say tastes better than Starbucks. And the pot is sized so that the customer actually gets a cup and a half. The coffee flavor is pure and healthier because we avoid those bleached and toxic paper filters that so many other restaurants use.

Come in and try it. The second pot is FREE right now. And the Grandma’s Shortcake goes really well with it!!!
