Rick, how much coffee are you making at a time?

If you only drink a cup or so at a time, the Aeropress is great and it works fine with crappy grinds (i.e. blade grinder). It is a lot less hassle and cleanup than a moka pot in my experience.

I usually make a ten cup pot drinking about half that morning and warming it up a day later in the microwave (not good but I'm a little lazy). The evenings gf comes over I make a fresh pot and we go through it right away; she thinks it's the best coffee ever but I suspect she's buttering me up [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

The Aeropress gets great reviews on Amazon (with about 67 reviews which means they are probably legit) and is only $26 bucks. I'd like to cut down on caffeine so this sounds like a good bet.

Not sure you posted links already but there are demos on YouTube which sold me.

PS I was going to ask if this is sold in stores but found this link with a sub-link to B&M stores at the bottom. After going through about 500 stores I found one a few miles away (hint to Aerobie - alphabetize!).

Edit to eliminate more unnecessary rambling by me.

I got this a few days ago and so far I think it's great.

- Easy and even fun to use.

- Makes very good coffee (I add the hot water to make Americano). I won't over drink since I can make the right amount for one morning.

- Easy to clean.

- Cheap ($30)

- To get it a local B&M store found a nearby place that roasts its own beans. Bought a 1/4 pound for $3 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the suggestion. If I'm still using it after a year I really owe you.
