You all don't know what bad coffee is until you live on airline coffee and have to stay awake on this obnoxious brew on a all nighter to Brazil or London. It is on par with navy coffee. Bad water, bad coffee, bad everything.. Yuck Yuck Yuck. Everything after that taste great! But I still love old fashion peculator coffee on the boat. Starts with the smell and ends with a great cup.
Since Europe is my second home (15 days a month) I get to try all the different ways. French press is an acquired taste but easily obtain. If done right, makes a good cup. Espresso machines depend on the bean and how it is grounded. I don't think American coffees make good espresso. Has to Italian, Turkish, or Brazilian. I am intrigued by this Tobby machine.
