I found this on amazon and it looks interesting, sort of like a french press, but better and easier to clean. For $26 is looks worth a try.

The experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were key to flavor excellence. He then designed and tested dozens of brewers before settling on the AeroPress design.

I do coffee by Chemex, French press, and drive-thru. This looks very good.

Adult of God, Angsty. Go down to the Amazon we have organized. Try this Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker. Determine whether it is good. Then return and report.

I enjoy my Toddy cold brew for ice coffee in the summer. You soak the grounds in cold water over night to make a coffee concentrate with a 1 to 4 delution. It is very low acidity.

And just for fun I found one of these at a thrift store that works for $12. My sister in law loves her Christmas present!

I have heard that Toddy is THE WAY to go. I wanna give it a try as soon as I have my own place again.

Yea, Angsty, be thou brave and buy one, then return and bring us word.

French press is my weekend treat. Please report on this miraculous new device.

I have this, and I must say it does do a great job. It is not quite as quick as a simple drip machine, but it doesn't take a long time either. Best of all, the coffee that comes from this tastes IMHO much better than any drip machine I have used. Plus, I like how you can customize how strong you want it, etc.

A few months ago I treated myself to a Senseo coffee machine. I am the only one in my house who drinks coffee, and making one cup of fresh brewed coffee at a time is a challenge. This gadget has a water reservoir, turn it on and it takes about 30 seconds to heat the water for a cup of coffee. Coffee comes in small pads filled with enough ground coffee for one cup. I pop in the pad and push the button, the hot water is forced through the pad I think under pressure like an espresso. I can do a single or double cup. Wonderful coffee! No, I do not sell them! This is not an ad. Just a coffee lover.
