In Serbia, I drank Turkish Coffee.  I learned to make it and wrote a howto on making turkish/serbian coffee.  Here in the UK, I have a filter coffee pot; however, before that I only had a french press (called a cafetiere–the french word for what Americans call a french press–here in the UK).  I like the taste of french press coffee better than filter so I’ve been drinking it in the mornings.  Here’s how I do it.  Just for note, my thermos–called a flask here–is 750ml.  That makes my french press about 900ml or so (as I get a thermos + 1 cup from it).
