The coffee press

I have been looking at this mobile coffee press @ Starbucks. It looks like a travel mug but has the plunger in it. Well, I had to get it. Works great. Now if I can figure out what to do with the mess. Oh, well.
What makes the coffee press a good way to make coffee? Gee whiz, I do not know. The coffee tastes different. What else? Maybe the power of making coffee in the European sense of the world. Uhm... I guess I need to do some research.

Just a side note: I added a clock to the the side bar. I just have to remember to change the time come the end of the month to make sure I have it correct. Should I make that change at midnight or can I wait until Monday?
