Bodum Coffee Solo Personal 10-Ounce Drip Brewer Set with Cup and Filter

For those times when you just want one good cup of coffee, the Solo does the trick. The device from coffee-whiz Bodum features two nesting plastic cylinders: the outer one with a fine stainless-steel mesh filter at the bottom, on which the grounds are placed; and an inner one with holes in the bottom, which rests just above the grounds. Fill the inner chamber with nearly-boiling water, and it drips quickly and smoothly through all the grounds at once. Catch the 10-ounce brew with the included borosilicate glass mug in a plastic holder, or use any mug of your own that fits. A great gift for yourself or a solo friend, all the parts are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Customer Review: No french press grit
I was looking for an alternative to a French press because I really dislike the grit it produces in the bottom of your mug. Tried the Bodum Solo and I'm very pleased. The only down-side is the coffee isn't as strong as that made in a French press...but the good news is: no grit, very easy to use and clean, produces a good-tasting one cup (smallish mug) of coffee. A few tips: use coarsely ground coffee (like you would with a FP); after pouring in the water, give the water filter and the coffee filter a firm press which really slows down the drip, otherwise the coffee will be much too weak.
