It will get even better when you ditch the cream too.
Maybe, but I'm going to go slow with that one.

Enjoyed your post and seeing the outside wear on your Impress brewer. I also enjoy using an Impress brewer, though I am usually at home and decant the brew into a more traditional coffee cup.Last night I got called out to the local hilltop to change out a card in a fiber multiplexer so I opened the bag of Populace Coffee Ethiopia Guji that I picked up along with their Bolivia coffee for $5 / ~half pound when they were celebrating their 5 year anniversary and put 18 grams of ground coffee in my Impress / Presse brew mug and filled it up thee-quarters full from the hot water tap of my water cooler as I was going out the door. This brew mug keeps the coffee hot for hours, good for me as I was out until three am this morning since I needed to pick up and return spares before and after going up the hill to the site.
Slept in a bit this morning and my Wife asked me to take my daughter to the tutor, so I did the same trick again this morning to bring along a nice cup of coffee with me. Had a Gurkha Legends Maduro cigar at the park which paired well with the coffee while waiting for her to be done. The brew mug is to the left of my water container and has in inner sleeve and a fine metal filter that presses the grounds to the bottom and effectively stops the extraction allowing you to brew on the go and enjoy your coffee for hours.

Earlier this morning as usual I was drinking Vietnamese Ca Phe Sua, hot coffee with condensed milk, made in the traditional Vietnamese Phin filter. This morning it was basic Buon Ma Thuot but I actually prefer Indochine Estates Annan Blend.
Is Vietnamese Ca Phe Sua as delicious as it sounds? I think I will have to try making it.
Oh yes it is
My wife is Vietnamese and I've been lucky enough to visit Vietnam several times.
Their strong, iced (or hot) coffee with condensed milk is very addictive.
Especially with a nice hot spicy bowl of Pho!!
