I'll second that motion. Aerobie's Aeropress is great. I like my coffe thick, not watery, and the Aeropress makes a credible cup of "espresso" without the steam.
I just ordered one of these from Amazon. I've used a Tassimo at work for a couple of years, but I just didn't like the coffee that much. Better than what's at the coffee bar, but still not that good. My son took a Senseo to college, and we bought one for home at the same time (great rebate...). It is better than the Tassimo, and has more pod choices.
But the Aeropress gets tons of great reviews. Even from serious coffee snobs. The ONLY negative I've read is "well... that's not REAL espresso." Which is fine with me, 'cause I drink typical American coffee anyway. MUCH easier to use and clean than a French Press. So I figured I'd drop $25 and check it out.
