Yesterday on the way home I bought paper cones and used the old Melitta manual drip. Makes surprisingly good coffee, but not as good as the Bodum. Oh well.
Two Melitta scoops each of Ethiopian Harrar and Colombian, grind just prior to use. Pour boiling water through the coffee (I use a Melitta #2) into a 16 oz thermos cup.
I think it's quite good.
When company comes and I need to make more than a cup at a time, I'll have to pull out the even-older 1940s Silex vacuum coffee maker. Unlike the French press, if ~that~ breaks, there's no replacing it... ;-)
Yeah, I had one of those while I was living in Calgary. Unfortunately, we had a house fire one night and it got broken by the fire persons. I still miss that thing. It made excellent coffee.
