I'm in search of a way to make an outstanding cup of coffee at home. I'm relatively picky and just any coffee maker won't do. I have a Mr. Coffee and I haven't been pleased with the results at all. I find that no matter how hard I try to keep it clean, the coffee seems to lose its unique characteristics, which are covered by a taste that seems to be coming from the machine itself.
I'm inclined to go for a french press but I'm wondering if there are other options I should consider. I know there are a few connoisseurs here, namely €uroMeinke, NA, and Blueerica. What say you?
I'm tired of having to always drive to the nearest Peet's for a good cup of coffee.
French press or not, what should I be looking for in a quality coffee making device? Also, what tips can you provide that will bring me a few steps closer to that elusive perfect cup?
Help me swanktify my java, damnit!
