(6,119 posts)easy to choose strength, advantages of french press without the grit, cheap to own and operate. Easy to clean, just rinse off after each use. Portable. ultimate control over the entire brewing process including what coffee you use, the water temp and amount of time water is on the grounds. Always fresh coffee because you make a cup at a time. It does have proprietary filters, but they are cheap or you can get a reusable screen, so no outrageous expense of pods and the non-recycleable waste you get with them. It is very efficient at extracting the essence from the bean so you don't need to use as much coffee per cup as by most other methods.
I have been using mine for several years and literally thousands of cups of coffee and it still works like new.
They are under $30 on Amazon. I cannot recommend them enough
