Degustibus non est ... and all but I will never understand the American preference for drip coffee. I say that as someone who drank press or drip exclusively until I lived overseas for several years and my Americano became an espresso at the cafe and my press coffee became Moka Pot stovetop at home. I've been back for 11 years and I still grind my teeth when the only option is drip. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Still, reading comment threads about the supposed differences between various drip techniques is always funny. Chemex? We used a plastic funnel thing that looked exactly the same in the 80s. The difference was Yuban (or whatever) instead of the far nicer quality beans on offer now. But seriously, the Italians figured coffee out years ago. These discussions are like a bunch of people arguing over which fast food chain makes the best burger.
