Is a press type coffee maker worth the upgrade?
I buy whole coffee beans, grind them and hand pour water into a melitta type coffee cone. Will I notice a difference by using a french style press? I'm pretty fussy about my java, it's the only vice I have left.
Anything that reduces the contact between your coffee grounds and the water you use to extract the coffee will impact on the flavour.
So a drip filter will capture some of the essential oils from coffee and stop them reaching your cup. On the other hand, you can also get a smoother flavour, without the coffee grounds you will often find in the bottom of your cup after a french press (or plunger coffee as it's known in other parts of the world).
If you are fussy about your coffee, and you are looking to upgrade without the expense of an espresso machine, why not look into a stove top or turkish coffee maker? If you already have a grinder, you simply grind the beans finer, put them in the stove top with water, and put it over heat on the stove. The result is as close as you can get to espresso (rich, strong, pure) without buying a machine. And they're not at all expensive, you can buy one in a department store for less than $30.
