My youngest is living in London & plans to mary a nice Italian she met in Australia,, don't ask..

Anyway, they use the Bodum press, I was very impressed on how fast it made a pot. I'd guess the grinds floating in the water do a faster job than a drip.

Kids also have a pot to heat water,, at 220v it will boil 2 liters in about 45 seconds..

The only draw back I found,, you need to learn how long before you press. I tried it one morning, the process is simple, put in coffee, add hot water, wait, press..

I waited about 5 minutes,, it was mud,, complete waste.. The type(moderately strong semi-espresso) and grind (fine) the kids had you only let soak just over 1 minute.. Clean-up is a bit messy, if you pressed the grind well,, you have to dig it out of the pot..

But I do like it..
