Call it a French press, a Bodum or even the old fashioned Cafeolette.
The right grind is very important. Forget the ground to powder stuff you put into your autodrip. The press needs medium coarse and it needs uniform size to work the way it was meant to. Do not use newly roasted coffee beans either. They must be at least 3 days old so you do not get the brown sludge floating on the top (it is called bloom and appears only when you press beans ground from coffee within 2 to 3 days from use.

How to Spice up Your Coffee with French Press Coffee Makers?
Have you ever sat at a French cafe, sipping one glorious cup of flavorful coffee after another while watching the world go by? Few of us have, but all of us can remember sipping that perfect cup of coffee. The rick, dark color, the scent of fresh-ground beans, the rich flavors and aftertaste--few things are better! Unfortunately for most of us, our daily experience of coffee is much different. We set the timer on our giant coffee-making machine, pour in some pre-ground coffee from a can and some tap water, and go to bed. We wake up yawning, take a shower, check on the kids, and then pour a cup of warmed-over, slightly stale, probably weak coffee. Does this sound like your daily routine? Coffee drank in this way fails to be satisfying. Coffee experts often note that any coffee that tempts you to add milk or sugar is probably not good coffee. They will tell you that quality, fresh-ground coffee is like fine wine, with hints of fruit, nuts, and wood roasted into the beans, creating unique flavor profiles and aromas. They will also tell you that the primary way to unlock this fresh-ground goodness is by using a French press. French presses may sound fancy, but they are actually quite simple. After grinding your coffee beans, you simply place the coffee in the bottom of the container, pour hot (not boiling) water over it, let it steep for 10 minutes or so, then press it down and pour. The act of pressing pushes the coffee grinds to the bottom, allowing you to pour a fresh cup of hot, steaming coffee into your mug. The secret is that French presses, unlike coffee makers, keep the coffee in contact with the water for a significant period of time, allowing the qualities of the ground beans to sink into the water (like tea). The result is a much richer and more aromatic coffee drinking experience. In addition, French-pressed coffee usually contains more caffeine than its brewed cousin, meaning you can get a bigger lift from one luxurious cup, instead of pounding down multiple mugs in order to obtain an energy boost. Try a French press today, and get that Cafe in Paris coffee experience for yourself!
What type of apparatus should a person have in order to make their own ground coffee?
Any type of coffee pot can be used to make home ground coffee. However, there is a minor debate as to what kind of machine is best. A French press is suggested to be used to make "the perfect cup of coffee". The apparatus steeps the coffee much like a normal coffee pot, except instead of pouring it out of the container, one presses it out of the machine. It is suggested that coarser grain would be more beneficial as other grains would drip sediment from the maker, into the cup.
