This is my absolute favorite way to make coffee. It combines ease with a great, great taste. I love it.
I would also like a word about grinding: Owning a really good grinder and keeping it grinding properly is unfeasible in a home environment. Blade grinders are totally out, and burr grinders must be kept in good condition (and adjusted, etc.). The result is that it's probably better to get your coffee ground at a professional coffee house, and use those grinds.
But now we run into the freshness problem. Not to worry, just pick up a vacuum container (for example: http://www.all4coffee.com/0vacuum.htm) for your coffee. Just give it a few pumps and the evil oxygen that ruins your coffee grinds is out of there. It really works, and I have fresh coffee for about a week.
Thanks for the heads up on the Brikka fansite, I'll be checking that out soon.
