I've got a handful of different coffee making methods at home, but nothing that does one cup very well. I've been on the verge of buying an AeroPress to go with all the rest for when I just need to make one cup. The funny thing is that I already have one but it lives at work because the coffee there is crap and I bring my own to make during the day. If you've never tried an AeroPress, you should really get one. They're foolproof and make great coffee.
