Yes! I don't mean to start a flamewar, but I've actually found the Aeropress to consistently make the best cup of coffee. I was a pourover guy for years and still love the ritual. But the aeropress process is more repeatable.

I can't, however, claim to be a minimalist about this since I am also one of those rubes with an espresso maker taking up space on his kitchen counter--and a whole cabinet still devoted to the coffee apparatus that has fallen out of my rotation.

I'm an aeropress fan, but that hasn't stopped me from pairing it with a grinder and a milk frother. Still a lot more space-compact than a full-blown espresso machine though.
