I like what they are doing. But my response to DRM coffee machines is basically ...

I agree. I switch between using a bodum or my aeropress. The convenience and taste of an aeropress is hard to top.

My coffee-drinking life got so much better when a friend gave me one of these a couple years ago. Easier and better-tasting than the alternatives (a "normal" coffee pot on the one hand, and Keurig-type machines on the other).

Note to anyone considering these: make sure you get coarse-ground coffee if you use a French press. It makes a big difference.

The next step is to get a burr grinder and grind the beans to the right coarseness just before you use them.

I bought a french press a couple years back and I can't believe anyone would make coffee any other way. No filters to replace and cleanup's as simple as just rinsing it under the faucet for a few seconds.

Most people I know replace their keurigs or coffee makers every year or so. My french press will keep working until it shatters. Additionally, as someone who doesn't quite feel comfortable with near boiling water going through a plastic device, french presses are the only thing I'll use anymore.
