Ahhhhh.... a topic near and dear to my heart..... I just purchase an Aeropress recently, and it really is an amazing device. For someone who only drinks a coffee from Starbucks, I was surprised how this plastic thing made a really nice cup of coffee. I have been using coffees with the World Market brand on them, notably Mocha Java. Squeeze a cup through, with a little Vanilla syrup and milk & froth, and you have a really nice cup of coffee. So good, that I decided I could probably do better, and just ordered a Rancilio Silvia. The Aeropress has now cost me >$1,000.

Frankly, I think the Aeropress can make a good cup of coffee with sludge from the backyard.
