I've been using the AeroPress: http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress.htm -- an odd gadget from the inventor of the Aerobie. It's pretty quick to use, results are off in the direction of an Americano, and it's really easy to clean. I'm happy with the coffee it makes, though I'm no expert.

I just started using one about a month ago. I love it. Coffee is good to great. Previously I used a French Press with decent results, but didn't enjoy the sludge and cleanup.

You can hack the Aeropress by inverting it: http://coffeepress.blogspot.com/2006/12/aeropress-redux.html...

Ah, I've been meaning to try one of those.

The only thing I don't like is that it needs a paper filter. I know that I will run out of them at 3am one morning, and will have to go to sleep instead of drinking coffee. The horror!
