I roast my own coffee (usually from Sweet Maria's). This morning, I made French Roast Blend for my first cup. Later, I'm having Ethiopia Wet Process Kebado. I use the manual drip method most of the time, brewing directly into a thermal carafe. We also have a couple Moka pots and a couple French Press pots.

And I too drink mine black, no sugar.

Vietnamese iced coffee? I love that stuff! Goes great with spring rolls.

Actually, my favorite coffee maker is the AeroPress. I use mine every day.
A close second is a single cup filter cone with a metal filter.

I wish I've got an expresso machine. All I've got is a percolator

Why don't you try an AeroPress? They're only 25 bux or so. They don't really make espresso, but pretty close to it.

Just be aware that there is a VAST difference between the the final product of Aeropress vs. any French press.

IMHO, the AeroPress coffee is SO much better and how you use the press is so much more versatile than the French press.

Guys if you want to try a different flavor do not change the coffee brand, instead use distilled water next time you brew. Cheers.

i also use distilled water as it does not tend to "color" the taste of coffee as per my taste buds

I would say that a French Press is far more versatile. You can get them in a variety of sizes and you can use them for loose leaf teas of very fine leaves to large flower buds in addition to coffee. I use mine for tea at the office these days than coffee. Plus the Aeropress has disposable filters.

As for distilled water, I wouldn't use that, it has no flavor. I prefer filtered water. Just get something to remove the chlorine flavors and such but keep in the minerals.
