Same. I've had my eye on the AeroPress for a long time and I'm very intrigued, but I can't get past the "hot water in plastic" thing. I'm sure there are at leas

  This might be the ticket: the reverse french press http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/10162 http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/10162 (I also like that it sounds like some sort of judo move.)

    I've tried something like this before, and the coffee tasted weird, but I may have done something wrong. It may have just been a matter of waiting longer.

    Heh, that's the traditional way of making coffee. Eg Turkish, or how it's used to be made here in Norway: * Put kettle on, bring water to boil (now, the rough frontiers-type pours in coffee right away, enjoying the bitter, ruined taste that comes from too high temperature) * take off heat (the hipster adds a thermometer, the scientist adds a thermometer, and takes the time, notes down the time, and uses a stop watch for next brew session) * add coffee (if not already added), let the mix sit for an appropriate amount of time * Either a) pour coffee into a cup, pour back in kettle - let settle -- pour into cup (traditional bonefire way[1]) or b) pour over a strain (hipster way) [1] http://gfx.nrk.no//AGRFaC3nrw7fFDP219oVYQ-one6GgfK_yq075cFJqKcQ http://gfx.nrk.no//AGRFaC3nrw7fFDP219oVYQ-one6GgfK_yq075cFJq...

    That's so gloriously obvious I'm amazed I'd never come across the suggestion.
