We use a little espresso pot. I have had it for about 7 years, and, except fot eh gaskets needing replaced, once, it has been trouble free. We also have French presses made of stainless steel, so not breakable!
Jake, the NGO I manage, Maya Mountain Research Farm, hosts a PDC in Belize. Next year will be our 8th year hosting PDCs, and our 25th year of farming here. You can read about our up coming PDC here http://www.mmrfbz.org/_8th_Annual_Permaculture_Design_Course.html which will be February 18th through March 1st, 2013, and see some of our latest activities on FB here http://www.facebook.com/MayaMountainResearchFarm. We are the oldest permaculture project in central America, and work at the intersection between agriculture and ecology.
