"Oh shit, what are we going to do now?!"

Discworld!

This may seem like a bit of cop out. The monolith from Space Odyssey films and books. In conversation with 2010 writer/director Peter Hyams, author Arthur C. Clarke likened the monolith to a Swiss Army knife.

I can understand French Press taking the gold ring, but I chalk the Mocha pot's silver to be largely an exercise in nostalgia.

I do love my French Press. In my opinion, it makes even mid-grade or poor coffee tastier. The only downside is that I am impatient, and waiting for the coffee to steep for four minutes is brutal. I never really knew that coffee could have a taste beyond bitter until I got a press.

How did I never notice that the muzzle flash was in the shape of the government....

Vote: French Press. Hands down the best coffee ever.

VOTE: Bodum French Press. Bar none. Grind with a hand-cranked burr grinder, use water out of a Brita pitcher. But above all:

VOTE: French Press (Bodum French Press)

I had a cheap Bodum French Press at my last job since our coffee machines had HOT water taps. I loved it. Certainly better than any high end drip machine.

I'm of two minds: Aside from common drip coffee makers, I've never used anything other than my french press. But I've never wanted to try another method because I love it so much.

Vote: French press

French press, if only because you can make great hot coffee with it the traditional way, PLUS make easy & great iced coffee by leaving water & grounds in it overnight in the fridge, then just pressing the sludge in the morning. Also, minimal waste & cost.

10 cup Espro French Press!

Vote: French Press. For the coffee that sticks to your ribs and then some. Sometimes you just need that kick in the pants, and nothing serves that up like a strong cuppa joe pressed in the old country style.
