French press. Didn't even know what one was until I was around 50, thought it was some fancy, complicated thing I wouldn't care about.

My wife drinks coffee day and night so we have 4 methods of making it. The cheapo French press is the best IMHO. Use whatever coffee grounds you like, make it as strong or light as you like.

Mine was $11 on Amazon. Finish wore off, looks like shit, works fine.

IMO Aeropress males a better coffee than a French press. Have you tried that?

Hell yeah, 100x better than a drip.
