I actually loved my AeroPress. I loved the coffee, and I loved that it was a $35 piece of plastic I kept in a drawer instead of a $1000 status symbol like an espresso machine, or a fetishized piece of kitchen sculpture like pour-over equipment. I also liked that the AeroPress was a straightforward procedure with no artistry, in contrast to all of the mysticism surrounding other methods. Now I drink drip coffee, for purely practical reasons. Whoever wakes up first brews a 10-cup pot, and that's good enough for us.
