Stumptown coffee isn't bad... It isn't my favorite.

There is nothing wrong with coffee made with a brewer, in an air pot if it's fresh.

My extractor (brewer, dripper, wte) if fucking nice. It cost a fair amount of money but a hell of a lot less than a clover. It pre-wets the coffee and brews it over a period of five minutes. It's pretty much a giant pour over machine. Any time I get a new variety or my roaster changes my roast, I make it as a pour over and compare it to the drip, some times I like the drip better.

If I still drank coffee at home (if I wasn't always at work) I'd probably be using an aeropress. It's fast, clean and makes a great single cup of coffee. It wins out in the clean and fast department. If I have company over I'll make a pot in my shitty Mr. Coffee dripper. Good beans make good coffee, it's almost hard to fuck up.
