When I was younger we had a series of drip machines with timers. Very nice to wake up to fresh coffee. Would usually make a full pot, turn it off, then nuke cups through the day.
For several years now we've been using a French Press. The first we had was a real cheapie. Worked okay, but there weren't quite enough threads on the end of the rod. The disc at the bottom kept coming loose. Not sure what the one after that was. It wasn't expensive, but was made much better. Alas, that one got broken. My wife picked up a Bodum. Since then we've seen a very nice, inexpensive pot at Ikea.
When drinking French Press coffee, I try to remember to swirl the coffee once in a while, to mix up the solids that settle to the bottom of the cup (fiber!). Otherwise, it's not "good to the last drop."
We've found this delightful coffee at a local, employee-owned grocery. Cameron's Velvet Moon! It's such a sweet, dark roast. You open the bag, see the glisten of the oils on the beans, take in a whiff of the aroma, imagine the taste of the caramelized sugars in the roast. Mmmmm....
We didn't know if it would be available in Arlington TX, where we're moving next week. I hadn't googled it yet, but I see it is available online! http://www.cameronscoffee.com/velvet-moon-2
