Those vacuum systems made great coffee. Apparently they are still
available.

Don't waste your money on a Keurig machine. I have had it served to me
many times and it tastes like instant coffee. My niece had a Nespresso
coffee maker and it make a great cup of coffee. Unfortunately, she ran
out of pods and had a hard time getting more. She was in Estonia at the
time. I considered getting a Nespresso, but they are expensive. It is a
15 mile drive to the closest place that sells the pods. They are
expensive and seemed to come only in variety packs which included a
number of different flavours.

We have a drip coffee maker, an espresso machine and a French press and
use them all. It is usually espresso in the morning and then drip or FP
after supper.
