Aeropress

I was skeptical that a plastic tube could make coffee worth drinking, but the manual press produces a genuinely smooth, robust cup with way less bitterness than my old drip machine. The whole process takes under two minutes and cleanup is just a quick rinse of the plunger and filter cap.

Brewing my morning cup takes less than two minutes now, and the clean-up is just a quick rinse and a press of the plunger to pop out the puck. The manual push gives you that satisfying control you just don't get with a drip machine. I've been experimenting with steep times every day since it arrived

The press mechanism is so satisfying to push down, and cleaning up takes under a minute since it's just one piece to rinse. This is my third week using it every morning, and the coffee comes out noticeably smoother than my old drip machine, with that rich espresso-like body described.
