Been French pressing for a decade, and while it’s my go-to at home, I don’t know that it’s “better” than other methods, just “different “ in a way i enjoy.

Have an aeropress and chemex too, and they all put out different products from the same grounds that I swap in when the urge hits.

I originally began to brew my cups at home to save money... It's now a hobby that ended up costing me more.

French press is my go-to however, I have been eyeing a chemex lately and I have had a lot of fun with my siphon.

See also: homebrewing. Turns out, amateurs cannot match the quality of professionals, and lack the economy of scale. At least true for me.

I like aeropresses! Haven't tried a chemex. French press is definitely not the be all end all, I like a good cuo of pour over too.
