Welcome back, Oblivions!
I used to have a coffee press long ago, it made pretty good coffee. But I guess I like the technology bit, and I’m not patient enough to “roll my own”. For someone else, the whole ritual of grinding the beans, setting up the filter, boiling the water, watching it pour through and so on is a big part of the enjoyment. I know when I perked a cup in a single cup machine a few times the flavour just wasn’t that great- maybe I just had bad luck.
I know some folks who claim that the very best coffee is the pot they make over a camp fire by putting some ground beans in an old beat up pot- no filter, no fancy grinder, nothing. To each their own, I guess 😉
Off topic, fire me an email if you are so inclined to let me know what happened to your blog- it seems to be gone 🙂
