I think that the type of bean (or pre-ground blend) that you use is really key. Not saying that it would make the coffee taste like any of the other mechanisms you mention, but I like rich almost choclatey coffee with little acidity and it took me a bit of shopping around before I found the right blends. Now I've got it sorted, I wouldn't be without it.

Spot on - the key is getting the grind right. I've got 250ml of grinds that are too fine and makes the pressing of the water through the grinds virtually impossible. The build up of pressure is quite impressive! But the coffee, when done right, is excellent, to my taste. Clean tasting.
What's not to like?
