If you really want to go simple, the aeropress is amazing. I'm not sure how much therapy it can provide however 😎 I don't think the French press will give you the same experience, so go with the carafe.
The aeropress extracts completely different from both, I may append. It is the only option where you can actually taste some of the flavors of better beans if grinded freshly.
It also resembles the brewing steps using a portafilter machine.
I used all methods each for a few years. Obv. I settled on a portafilter machine because everything else is inferior by far - anyhow my experience:
The french press is the option to pour multiple coffes to different people. Everything else will taste worse over time - regardless of insulation. Glass: Cold fast. Insulated: Overextracted. Glass kept warm: burned.
A pour over is awesome for a single coffee. Haven't tried them with stainless steel filter. But this should even improve the taste.
The aeropress is awesome. I use it with an stainless steel filter as well. The taste is way better then the other two. You can make multiple cups pretty fast, since you only need 30-60 seconds if the coffee is already grinded and the water hot.
I'm going to be weird and try pour over method on my drip machine lol
That's curious not weird!!
Having a cup pour over is nice because it can trap the heat in your mug. Your machine most likely needs its proprietary can to let it drip drip drip.
Yeah, I wear seeing the 8 cup basket pour over devices and was thinking I could do that with my current drip machine for fun .. my main concern will getting the water measurements as I can't easily weigh the machine.
