You can get a solid french press at that price. Just as easy to use, easier to clean with no filters, and the coffee isn't as burned. I use this one which is slightly out of your price range, but there are cheaper models that are just as good: https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Insulated-Stainless-Filtration-Dishwasher/dp/B07JGBK6XV
edit: The aeropress is also $30: https://www.amazon.com/Aeropress-Original-Espresso-style-Portable-Espresso/dp/B0047BIWSK
That one requires paper filters but it's the cleanest coffee you'll ever drink. I loved my aeropress.
I work in coffee and I'm pretty lazy at home with a drip machine. I reserve my various other methods for if I get my hands on something different. Personally I think French press can be messy if you don't have a solid compost pile at your disposal.
I usually make 1-2 pots per day. My vermicomposter isn't operational right now so I use the grounds as a gentle general fertiliser. My houseplants each get a pot-full around once per month. The rest I throw out to my roses, trees, and lawn.
I miss having a garden. 😢
Thanks I'll consider it but I still have my eye on just a simple drip machine.
I love my French press. I'm not anti other methods but I just love my French press.
I’m anti drip coffee. Chemex sucks too. It is always bad compared to other methods like French press and aeropress
Ah but have you considered that I'm lazy and just want coffee as easily as possible when I have to drag my ass out of bed at five am?
I make cold brew and keep it in the fridge ready to go. Lasts about a week
