If you assemble your coffee in the morning, there really isn’t too much advantage between coffee machine and French press. Both require assembly. Both require 5 minutes of time. Both require cleaning. The factor that converted me back to coffee machines was that Karen (my mother in law) assembles her coffee the night before. When [...]
