And Don't look back
A former Press Pot (French Press) guy, the Aeropress beats the press pot hands down for convenience, speed, cleanup, control over brewing, taste, etc. etc.
I've tried and still use from time to time (except for perk!!)
French press
Ibrik
Moka pots
Drip
Melitta cones
Percolators (worst way to brew coffee ever!)

Just ignore all the hype in the advertisement.
Alan Adler, the inventor, is also the inventor of the aerobie flying disk.
Check out the 28 page thread on Coffeegeek.com for more info. on the aeropress than you would EVER want. Give yourself a WEEK to read it all!!!!! Alan Adler contributes to this thread and you can ask him any questions. He's glad to respond.

Coffee in less than a minute. Cleanup -- 10 seconds.
