I recently purchased the Aeropress from Amazon based entirely on the recommendations of the members of B&B. It showed up a few days ago, and I immediately broke my "no coffee after lunch" rule and brewed up a double shot cup of Americano using Caribou Coffee's Obsidian (which is an awesome roast, by the way), ground in our cheap 20 dollar grinder.
Normally I use a touch of splenda and soy milk to tone down my coffee (don't hit me please), and I was really hoping to not have to do so this time. I am so sick of having to add things to badly brewed coffee in order to turn them into a caffeine delivery system instead of enjoying them the way they should be.
Sip one - heaven. Absolute, complete and total heaven. I couldn't believe the flavor profiles I had been missing with our relatively nice drip machine. The Aeropress worked perfectly in my book. Totally loved it.
For what, 30 dollars shipped (including an extra pack of filters), this is an incredible deal. The only downside I see is that it uses more coffee than the drip systems on a per-cup basis... but for flavor like this, it's totally worthwhile.
