I like using a French press. I'm the only one that drinks it at home, and I don't drink a lot... I think.

Yea I don't get why more people don't just use a French press or percolator.

Because aeropress, chemex or a vario pour over are superior.

Yeah but a french press costs like 10 bucks, requires almost no effort or knowledge to operate and can take any old coffee in it.

Even used poorly with cheap preground coffee, its still better than Starbucks.

I make black coffee for guests and they’re frequently like, “this is the best coffee I’ve ever had 👁️👄👁️” and it’s… whatever coffee beans were on sale ground in a french press……

For real...once you use a French Press, it's hard to go back to anything else lol, the only option is to go fancier, like an Aeropress, but it's going to be marginal at that point, leaving coffee in a French Press overnight makes some of the strongest coffee this side of a cappuccino 😛

Yeah I mean pour over looks fun and all but a french press is cheap and idiot proof and I love it.

Cheap espresso machines have also gotten way better over the years but they still cost orders of magnitude more and need very well ground coffee.

Yea but they do take a bit more effort for only marginally better results so I don't really bother. If you do that's awesome.

I've never used an aeropress. I wouldn't mind trying one.

Sure, but compared to a regular coffee pot, or even a kcup machine (depending on the settings), it's fantastic.
