Absolutely! I tossed my Braun drip coffee maker after Falling for a Bodum French press. But my love of all things vintage eventually led me to try a vacuum coffee maker and both my French presses now sit unused. They just cannot compete with the vacuum maker's results, though I haven't a clue why.

Having said that, it goes without saying that the Creator did not stamp us all out with the same cookie cutter. My taste buds experience Nirvana poured from a vacuum pot. Others' will find Nirvana elsewhere.

A vacuum maker produces a very, very clean tasting cup of coffee allowing all those essences to come through in ways other makers can't match.

Finally tried Turkish coffee. Bought some cheap equipment and a package of ground coffee with cardamon at a local mediterranean/ middle eastern market. I'm sure there is better than what I made, but it was good enough to let me know I like it a lot.

What equipment did you get?

Just a cheap set of 3 different sized stainless steel ibriks, or "coffee warmers" it said on the box. The set cost $5.00. I may upgrade to a more traditional set made from copper some day, but for now the cheap stuff is working fine. Actually pretty good quality for the price.

Looks like this:

Hmm.. i can make coffee talc with my grinder.. maybe i should give it a go

Just wanted to say thanks to you all for finding a (temporary) cure for my RAD...

I've had serious coffee on the brain since this thread started and now I'm thinking of investing in both a home roasting setup and a vacuum system. So I guess it will be a deflection of funds from my RAD, but a change nonetheless.

Watch out. It's a slippery slope. First you start with a basic roaster and brewer and then you start looking at drum roasters and fancy brewers and then fancy grinders and then comes the espresso machines and the next thing you know you're in the poor house.
