Tried press pot coffee a couple times the other day...

and man, it was RICH!! So rich, I did not know what to make of it at first so i went back and tried a breakfast blend. The flavor was so complex and strong i was initially turned off but i realized that this was how coffee was supposed to taste and that I was getting all the flavors of the beans and the roast. I have heard a lot of complaints that press pots were not big enough for more than one large cup but the taste is so rich that i do not need a second large cup. all in all a different taste experience.

There's a reason why standard drip coffee is often referred to by the Italians as "dirty water".

I prefer the Aerobie Aeropress to French press. You get the same rich taste, but the filter in the Aeropress removes the sediment that adds a bitter taste to the press pot (never drink that last sip in the cup of press pot coffee!). negative point it that it only makes one (small) cup at a time. i will often make an Americano out of the Aeropress coffee.. yummy!
