dzwiss - glad you agree. Love coffee from a French Press but it takes a lot of water to clean one out. The Aeropress is just slam the plunger and the cake of dregs flies out. Cleaning is just a wipe with a paper towel.
I had a relation in law who was born in Cuba and let me know that most folks in US drank weak coffee. I put half a cup of espresso in a French Press and a few tablespoons of instant as well. He let me know that is was quite strong enough - and requested a bit of milk be added.
