Read the reviews for the AeroPress. The only negative reviews are probably from the makers & sellers of all those very expensive Italian espresso machines. This is the best coffee I have ever tasted. I make a jar of the concentrate & store it in the fridge. It tastes great days after it has been brewed. Take a jar with you to work... or on a trip. This simple coffee making device will forever change your taste for coffee. Google Aeropress for more info.

Isn't this just a presspot?

I replaced my French Press with this. The only real differences are you use a much finer grind in this for 30 seconds (I usually go for 45) then press through a very fine filter which strains any particulates, resulting in a less bitter brew because the hot water has not enough time to leach out the alkaloids in the coffee grounds.
