Is there really a difference ?

I'm fortunate enough that my wife makes my coffee for me in the morning during the week, but she's accustomed to the drip machine, and I'm not complaining.

Truthfully, my drip machine is pretty good. Luck of the draw I guess.

On the weekends, I've been making coffee with my press. Definitely more flavorful, and richer while less bitter.

Kirk, I'm not sure what my scoop holds exactly...I'd guess a heaping tablespoon. The ratio I started with was 1 scoop to 4 oz of water, and let it brew for about 4 minutes. I'm sure the scoop/water/time ratio is varied to personal preference. More or less of any of those would change the brew.
