    French Press is faster, mix ground with hot water, push down the plunger, coffee ready. In the morning I’m not capable to do something more complicated or waiting minutes for my coffee.

      You are supposed to wait a few minutes before plunging and decanting French press though. If you are just pressing it and serving your French press coffee must be absolutely terrible.

      A decent drip maker with a timer will make better coffee than you are making and also be less work on top of it. Wake up to fresh hot coffee, done

        It’s a myth, no need to wait in a French Press. I also thought it at the beginning as newbe with it, but there are no differences, except that the coffee isn’t hot anymore waiting several minutes. the pressure of your hand is enough to extract the aroma of the coffee, similar to the pressure do it the water pressure in an italian expresso can, the difference that there the water pression is against the coffee, not the coffee against the water in the french press.

      It’s less work than a french press. I am seriously the laziest person in the world when I first wake up and I find it easier. It takes me a couple minutes to get situated to read with my coffee anyway.
