My parents gave me a press pot for a belated birthday gift.
It makes a really full flavored (and strong) cup of coffee all without the usual bitterness of brewed coffee; it reminded me a bit of the Greek coffee I had in Greece.

Don’t make the coffee too coarse or too fine! It’s all in the grind!
(The bump and grind. I mean what?)
Yeah, the first time we tried it we ground the beans too coarse, and it didn’t turn out too well. About as coarse as regular drip coffee seems to work well.
