Although I can agree with the pourover method (the resulting cup of coffee is by far my favorite), I've found that it simply takes more time than I'm willing to invest during the week. For a weekend morning, absolutely, but I find myself getting impatient during the week. If you find yourself in a similar dilemma, I'd recommend* an AeroPress. They take < 1 minute and essentially leave you with a double espresso, to which you can add water and have an Americano. A year ago I would have said French Press, but I grew tired of the 'silt' at the bottom of the cup. *I'm a bit of a coffee aficionado myself (Seattle) and have more than 5 coffee-making-devices at home.
