I looked at the aeropress, I still plan on getting it one of these days. What I decided to go with was the clever coffee drip, the reason being I can stir a minute or 2 into the immersion process. -

All my beans are grinded pre cup via a Porlex Grinder -

Right now my favorite coffee beans come from DogWood Coffee, I have the roasting days marked so I can go get the beans same day and they do small batch. -

http://www.sweetmarias.com/store/ is a great place to go if you are interested in doing your own roasting. My buddy roasts his own and I get beans from him as well.
I wouldn't consider myself hardcore but I do love a tasty cup of coffee
