The water at home is very very hard, so I've been killing drip coffeemakers at the rate of about 1 every 6 months for quite some time. I kept thinking about buying distilled water to stop that from happening, but realized I would spend more on water over a 6 month period than a new coffeemaker cost.
However, I'm thinking of getting a french press. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the ups and downs of the whole french press idea...it seems to me like it shouldn't take long to make a pot, but there's nothing to keep it hot. Also, I don't have a grinder, so I'll have to grind beans at the store until I can affored a decent burr grinder.
Also, anybody ever use a percolator? Does it make decent coffee?
