So I was just in the kitchen and remembered a coffee implement that I haven't mentioned yet. Anyone else have an Aeropress? I bought one that lived in my desk drawer back when I was actually employed. It hasn't been used much since I brought it home. It's pretty fantastic, though. It obviously doesn't make real espresso, but the taste is very similar. If you don't want espresso, just add more hot water after pressing. It's great. Kind of like a turbo charged French press. Only takes about 30 seconds if your water is already hot.
