Knives and Coffee

I agree! The only competition is from other manual processes: pour-over, aeropress, siphon, etc. Those are all substantially more effort for subjective, marginal gains.
We've had French presses around here for years, but they really started getting used when I retired. The AreoPress gets a lot of use too. The coffee maker's been put away, and the Kurig, while it is convenient at times, sits idle for weeks on end.

All gone already!

Personally, I think a pour-over is easier, and the big plus for me is cleanup is easier. You also don't leave the grounds still steeping slightly if you don't pour all the coffee out at once like with a French press.

My favorite method of all though is the Clever Coffee Dripper, which combines the two processes and is a best of both worlds IMO. Cleanup is only marginally more involved than a regular pour-over. :thumbsup:
