How do you make your morning coffee? [View all]

I used to use a French press as you can make more than one cup. However the cleaning process and mediocre temperature holding drove me to use either the pour over process or an aeropress.

Both are much easier to clean. The quality of the aeropress is slightly better than pour over, but it makes a smallish cup.

They have an XL new version, but not ready to spend $70 bucks yet.
