MarketBasket: A best-of-both-worlds brewer
This smartly simple innovation allows the richness of a French press full-immersion brew, but with the clarity of a paper-filtered drip. A tricky stopper on the bottom holds the brew inside the chamber until it's done steeping, then releases a stream of java like a trap door when it's set atop a cup, a standard paper filter holding the murky sediment behind.
