I have used one a few times and elected not to buy because I thought press coffee was at least as good; I know a few folks who swear by them. I did pop $8.95 and got a #6 conefilter plastic manual pourover that rests neatly on thermos bottle while dripping.

For ease I prefer the french press; for cleanup I prefer the pourover filter; for quality I'd call the press and a Chemex (or pourover) about a dead heat. You know you have to stand there and dribble water and stir for a few minutes, right?

You can use my pourover filter if you want. Six of one half dozen of the other.... but it has zero glamor factor compared to a nice Chemex.
