French Press + Great Beans + Boiling Water = Superb Cafe
My French Press is wonderful but the carafe is not removable (well, I cannot get it off the glue spot that Starbuck's puts in the base). Another carafe would be my choice, its a silver ornamental one. French Press is best because the water has to be at least 112F for wonderful coffee, which the plastic coffee makers cannot attain.
Second would be a great perculator, which they really don't make anymore. But, no, correction, the Cory can be purchased still, on Ebay, and that would be my 2nd. choice.
