I know there's at least one or two coffee nuts out there, so I though you'd appreciate this. The greatest invention for coffee in the home since... ever? Invented by the same guy who did the Aerobie flying disc.
http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress.htm
Only $30, and supposedly makes better coffee than even the most expensive espresso machines.
I want one. An article, and some customer reviews.

it's actually different from a french press. Did you read the article?

I'm intrigued, but not yet convinced. Perhaps more importantly, I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to go to that much trouble.
Nice find. Where do you come up with this stuff?

I don't think we're coffee freaks, but . . . Ian and Alan conducted lengthy time-delay tests on coffee this summer . . . I came home after a weekend away to find five brands of coffee, each with exactly one pots' worth taken out (Ian needed to be sure we weren't stuck in a rut. We weren't.) . . . sometimes at night I go to sleep anticipating the taste of my morning coffee . . .
All that aside, we have long felt that the water makes almost as much difference as the roast. Last Saturday we finally tested that theory, swapping out our hearty, chunky, fresh-from-the-lake water for a bottle of Dansai, and it really did make a difference! Lake of Bays water or bust!

i might qualify as a freak after spending a lot of time last year on coffeegeek.com.
Intriguing product, but then you have buy those filters.
After spending almost a year w/ my grinder and expresso machine, I would agree w/ the coffee fanatics that the grinder and beans can make a bigger difference than the machine. I get beans from a small roaster, close to the roasting period. I spent the money on a good grinder and it's worth it. Starbuck's and even Peet's espresso doesn't even come close to beans like Barefoot and Tigerwalk.
I'm sure if you compared this w/ French press and really good beans, you'd get a better taste, granted it wouldn't be as fast. Although, it does take me about a few minutes total to make a latte, including grinding beans and frothing milk.

Thanks Peter.
I am a coffee freak, and I think I'll order one tonight.
BTW: I just started ordering coffee from Silver Canyon Coffee and love the Loggers Lift, Java and Kona blends they offer. I'll try some of their other blends next month.

I've ordered it from here once, and although it took a couple of weeks for me to get it, the wait was well worth it.
Now if I could find some reasonably priced PURE Kona, I'd be in heaven.
