The press for me is awesome.
The flavor is excellent, and upkeep is minimal compared to a drip. (Drip machines always annoy me. I don't care how much you run that cleaning stuff through them at some point you still get grime in every crevice, hose and pump that just makes me cringe)
Press is a little mroe time consuming, but I prefer to look at it as forcing me to slow down in my otherwise busy day. Take a few moments to do something right, that I like, for me, before I spent the rest of the day slaving for The Man.
Just me
