I have a DeLonghi Coffee Maker that I love, we would go through 2 Mr. Coffee type brewers a year. I have had this one for 5 years now, makes a complete pot of coffee in 3 minutes.

Hey Tony, I dig these articles. I’ve been using a coffee cone for about four years now & love it for its convenience & low-infrastructure/equipment level of control (for that deep black cup).

Has anyone had good/bad experience with the Aerobie Aeropress?

Keeping the coffee in the press is also a bad idea because as long as the grounds are in the water, it’s still brewing. Ideally you’ll have that coffee out of the press and into a cup or container immediately after your brew process is finished.

I started using a press in college. I already had a kettle, so it was cheaper than buying an electrified coffee making machine, and you don’t have to buy filters. It definitely makes better coffee, as you’ve noted. My parents use the same beans (Eight O’Clock) that I usually use, but with a DeLonghi drip maker, so I have a pretty good basis for comparison.

If you’re going to be serving coffee to a lot of people, or for any reason you’re not going to pour all the cups out immediately, you’ll want a thermal press or a thermal carafe. The glass presses you see everywhere don’t keep the coffee hot.
