Oddly enough, my answer would be Secura's french presses. All metal, no seals. Just works...seemingly forever.

I have a Secura french press, and while it works well, I seem to have to use so much coffee to make a reasonably strong brew. I've been sticking to some no-name steel version of a Bialetti moka pot for a few years now.

Yeah, it's a very basic soaking method. You either have to add more grinds, or wait longer. I grind up about 60g for 2 large cups of coffee.

It works for me because I don't mind letting it sit while I prepare lunch. If in a hurry, you can keep stirring it to get slightly faster results.

Wow 60g would take me 20min on my cheap hand grinder.
