Just use a Moka pot or Aeropress, surely?
Maybe you should try Aeropress then. So quick and easy.
Is it really better than a small cafetière/French press?
Have you tried a Chemex or other pour over?
Have you tried the Aeropress? It's incredibly easy to use and takes about a minute of work every morning - great coffee too.
How does this improve over a french press and $15 of coffee grounds?
I just pour coffee grinds into a recycled pop bottle... no need to get fancy with a French press.
Thoughts on aeropress vs espresso machine quality?
Disclaimer: haven't read the articleDisclaimer: probably not relevantIf you're still drinking drip coffee from a machine, PLEASE acquire and use a french press. It's so much better, easier, cleaner, and more personal. You choose how clean the vessel is, how strong the coffee is, how much coffee to make, etc.
Have you considered an Aeropress?
