Since it was not clear i couldn't align it like I liked and I always seemed to get a big clump of grinds in my brew. But you are right, the coffee would stay warmer much longer. I actually own a personal travel press that is metal and it keeps the coffee warm for what seems like days. I like the ideas of the metal ones, but I always had a hard time getting the lid on flat.

I'm a big fan of americanos and the Aeropress seems to be the best way to make them at home without buying an espresso machine.

While not as effective as a french press it does cut some of the bitterness out of the coffee and brings out a little more of the real coffee flavor.

Of course, you also need high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans.

Coffeegeek.com has a french press article as well as others that will enlighten the coffee comsuming public about the importance of a fresh grind.
