Lately I've been using an aeropress and have been quite happy. Not Clover coffee, but better than FP and unbeatable for the price.
- iron_ball 18y agoJust grind it coarser and coarser, increasing the time or heat with each grind, until you get no grounds.
- silencio 18y agoHmm, have you tried a Chemex? Every single comparison I've seen between the two basically point out the inconvenience of the aeropress when you're trying to make coffee for, say, more than one or two people, which is inconvenient for me...but it's another alternative to french press.
- far33d 18y agoI have both - the chemex is a much cleaner cup of coffee but more difficult to produce a 'perfect' cup. As a benefit, it doesn't require a burr mill grinder - the key to a solid french press cup is consistent grind. But a french press cup brewed properly will express the flavor of the beans better than most other coffee brewing methods. But for the love of coffee, don't use a home drip machine. They suck.
