The AeroPress from my photo uses a similar method to the French press. You mix the beans with water, and they have to sit for about 2-3 minutes. Then you filter the liquid by force. The ground coffee beans remain in the press while the liquid pours directly into the cup.
This exact cup was brought home by my wife. It is a Japanese ceramic and I like it because it is raw and unpolished.
Japanese do know how to make exceptionally attractive and appealing ceramics. Soon after we became married, we obtained in a local Jap shop two ceramic glasses of irresistible beauty and attractiveness. Only one of them has survived to this day, - it serves me on a daily basis for tea drinking.
I'm a huge ceramics fan... and would love to purchase a few cups like this, from Japanese ceramicist - name is: Cory Winter. But unfortunately, this is not an option due to a number of technical reasons...
I could add more from my little (virtual) collection, but I guess you've got the idea.
I could forget about @mdosev's cat cup 😜 if I could get one of these 💓 I particularly like the starry night one; I gues it's named after Van Gogh's painting (which I love so much, as much as I love Don MccLean's "Vincent"... You're making me nostalgic but in a sweet way).
if only I could get one of these! too...
I cant order anything at Cory Lum's online store,
just follow, and enjoy results of his work with my eyes.

Thank you. I'm going to check it out 😁
I was unaware of this type of coffee maker. Thank you for introducing it to me. You can tell your wife that you have been told that she has good taste, hahaha.... Sorry for the silly joke.
