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.
This is for my desk at work- I'm using a french press now, but I'm looking for something that will produce a little less sediment. (I know I know grinder grinder blah blah)

I've been looking at pourovers too, but worried about the mess.Thoughts Senor Moo?
