My sister has one from this company (another model) and i can back the comments below. These things produce the best coffee. I use a French press every morning with close control on beans, grind, temperature and timing. This coffee maker still beats it for taste. So I am considering this drop.
GingermanI've owned a Technivorm for more than 10 years, and it really is fantastic. And simple. I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you are at home brewing for more than one. But during the week, when I am at work all day, I use an Aeropress with a metal filter. I used to use a French press, but the Aeropress is several notches above a French press, and much easier to clean.
