Ive recently started drinking more espresso drinks, and after each cup of it i feel FANTASTIC where as with coffee I feel a little bloated or uncomfortable.

I might also recommend an espresso related gift, in order to encourage him to check out those types of coffee drinks

IMO it's more about making it and less about the beans. Bought one of these Bialetti espresso stove top things and never went back.

^^I like the look of that, Tann.

So, I'm loving the responses so far. Thanks guys. Gotta go look up a few things based on your posts.

I'll never understand people who take their coffee black. It's so bitter (acidic?). I think that's the best way to describe it. But then again, I can count on one hand how many cups of coffee I've had in the past year.

My favorite thing about coffee is the way it smells while brewing.

Try a gibralter at a semi fancy coffee shop, its got a teeeny amount of milk in it.. great for gettign you out of the milk prison and into the freedom of black coffee!

I too used to drink my coffee with so much shit in it, i would tell people I like my coffee like I like my wedding cakes, rich as fuck.

but now im about half black, half cake flavored coffee drinker.

and i feel better after drinking the black coffee than I do the sugar & cream filled stuff I should add.

The only reason people prefer a more automated process compared to the french press is because they either don't know how to use a french press / specific coffee bean recipe properly to their liking or they're too lazy.
This isn't ur starbucks coffee where they add lots of flavoring and other shit to it. This is a simple classic cup of coffee that taste great and doesn't contain any other additives.
My vote is for french press through and through,. sure a classic Saturday morning coffee machine with a timer is nice to wake up to. But if you have class and a sense of taste french press is the way to go.

If you had to add flavoring to a cup of coffee wouldn't you prefer adding it to an already great cup of coffee?

I used to french press, but I prefer a single poor method to it.
