Current setup:
I switched to the stainless steel Bodum after breaking my 2nd glass french press (both were Bodums). I'm not a huge coffee guy by any means, but the flavor yielded from a french press is so far superior to any machine I've used, it's worth the extra time to boil water etc etc. (I'm also at 2 slightly heaping tablespoons, or one coffee scoop, to about 8 ounces water).
Thanks for the grinder reviews, Jeff. The Capresso seems to be a favorite for the cheaper burrs so I picked one up and am really liking it so far. Can't speak to its grind for espresso.
I'm currently drinking their Kenya Chema Auction Lot brew, really good, citrus top notes, deep flavor with noticeable chocolate hints.
