Incidentally I was remarking to Hugh since sometime how the French Press video had changed how we prepare coffee at home for good! Thank you for the video

If you can’t be swayed from your drip, try a pour-over system. This is a much more hands on and precise brewing method than electric brewers. (sorry mr. coffee.) You can find a lot of pour-over systems out there, (also known as swiss gold) but the general consensus is that chemex makes the best. This is because of the functional (and swank) glass design and because of it’s specially designed filters that allow for appropriate contact time (about 4 minutes) and are unbleached.

The "choke" is why I went back to a Melita style filter, which allows fluid out all over its surface. I use the Melita filters in my Chemex brewer by placing it in the gold filter from my Bodum pot in the neck of the Chemex. So, I now fill the to the edge of the filter and stir, then top off a couple of times, stirring again, then let it finish on its own. The filters are a cheaper, leaving me more to spend on the coffee. I still adjust the grind depending on the quantity brewed, but it seems to be less critical than with the Chemex filters.
