I'm a french press advocate, if for no other reason than filters always remove something of the coffee. One of the best things I've done is to bring my French press to work - there is simply no better coffee than what I serve at my desk.

Of course the press takes a bit more time and care to prepare, so you may want to still have something for you second tier uses. I've been happy with the cone drip coffee makers. I think what makes more a difference here is to keep the coffee fresh, to drink it when made and not let the coffee sit on the burner. I think there are coffee makers that drip into a thermal caraf, that's probably the second best way to go - get it off the burner, but into smething to retain the heat.

I think Blueerica can probably add to this.
