Wow, this old thread again! Fun.
It is almost three years later, and I still prefer any other method over filter drip - or should I say, over filter drip made with a typical electric brewer.
I like french press, moka pot, vac pot, aeropress, turkish, even ye olde coffee boiler, better. Not to mention espresso.
Have only tried the classic filter drip once (boiling water, then simply pouring it over a porcelain Melitta filter holder with paper filter + freshly roasted aand ground coffee), but it was something completely different - waaay better. Not as good as the vac pot though. I often use the Santos and bought the Kona.
Then again, maybe I am one of those "body" fans. I like a good body!
