I've tried all sorts of ways of making 'real' coffee from ground beans with all sorts of gadgets, and during the course of many,many, years have failed to find a gadget that makes coffee any better than making it in a similar way as one makes tea. .......Pour boiling water onto the ground coffee, stir, then pass a cold spoon over the top of the liquid in order to make all grains go to the bottom of the pot, and then serve as one would tea.
It still annoys me that it is no better than a superior blend of Instant Coffee.!!
