Hey, I wasn't arguing against your premise. It's just that I've been served filtered coffee and coffee from cafetières (which I generally use myself) in both Italy and Spain, as well as in Turkey and across the Middle East (where the perception is that they also don't drink the stuff). Anyway, in my opinion the raw material is far more important than the method used to brew the stuff. Get me a bag of properly roasted first quality beans and I'll brew you a nice cup of coffee no matter what method you want me to use. If the beans are first class, the rest is just a matter of preference.
