Coffee Machine: French Press. Drip. Metal Pot. Which to use?

Actually the plastic inserts from some Chinese piao yi bei (飘逸杯) "tea pots" suit making coffee quite well.  They have a valve that retains the water until you press a button, then it flows down through built-in mesh. If you stir the coffee/water mix just before pressing the button, the coffee grounds are evenly suspend and your coffee pours out more or less immediately, so grind coarseness has no impact on brewing time And, since they're plastic and have lids, the coffee comes out pretty hot.

 

In China you can get them for $1-2; I couldn't find them selling on Lazada though. Popped inside a slightly larger cup or mug, I think they make a lot of sense for travel.

 

Relative to a drip filter, the only quality minus I can think of is that the inner mesh, which is really designed for tea leaves, is quite coarse, so some finer grounds goes through. They're also not very robust.
