i've had a french press for a while, and love it. I actually have two at home, and one for work that's a french press/starbucks travel mug. As a result of having two at home (one small and one large), our expensive coffee pot we were given as a gift when we got married is unused. We will give it away free to anyone that wants it!

For work, I bring ground coffee in a ziplock for my french press. I leave it on my desk sometimes, and people a lot of times think it's drugs. I can't wait for someone to tell HR about it - I'll have to get drug tested for coffee. haha. Good fun.
