When I wake up on a cold morning before the sun’s come up , - high up in the mountains on an elk bowhunt - any hot cup of coffee tastes like Heaven. Even the instant stuff.

This Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee Press works well for me. Very durable, I use it in the camper also. Come in different sizes. I think all the different brands are made in the same factory.
Wacky Packages! I remember collecting those as a kid.
Now you’re talkin’ dirty. I’m an up at 6am coffee on by 6:30 type. My favorite time of day for a bowl. Peaceful.
Of course, retirement helps immensely with enjoying the mornings.

Is there a glass liner, or solid SS?
Bodum makes a variety of what is often called "French Press".
I drink coffee all day unless I switch to water or beer. But, coffee is good anytime.
I've had a lot of the fancy stuff. Most of it was good. I've cooked coffee in a pot on a fire about as much as I've made it in a drip maker. We also used a stovetop percolator here for a few years.
As long as it's hot and black, most coffee does me right. It's all different, but I usually like it.
We also do the Maxwell House nowadays in some kinda' fancy insulated drip thermos looking contraption. It's like a drip maker with no burner. Mr. Coffee brand. Forces me to microwave cups of lukewarm coffee all day long.
Whatever works. It's bought and paid for.

Its solid SS. Works great & indestructible, which is good for me! Mine is only 12 oz, but there's a larger model also. Got it years ago on Amazon (when it was $15). There were several brands but I think they were all from the same manufacturer.
Inspired by those posts on At the Back of the Hill, I took to attempting Hong Kong milk tea with a bowl of Bob's Chocolate Flake. That was a fantastic weekend breakfast indulgence.
Otherwise its been VaPer and black coffee for the invigorating morning mindslap.

My own taste buds are also declining with age (64) so I decided to up my coffee game. After a lot of research, I purchased a basic Ninja coffee maker. I fill it with freshly ground Brooklyn Italian Dark Roast and I set it to "Rich" brew. Now I can really taste the coffee which of course I enjoy with my morning pipe!
We are the same age and we like that dark, bold coffee. My wife used to say "You like strong coffee". My reply "No, strong coffee is coffee that has sat in the pot for 5 hours, bold coffee is just rich, nicely roasted pieces of heaven." I like your idea. I will have to try it.
Simply divine????? Try the Boston version of that...........wicked pissa. Now doesn't that sound better than any sentence with divine in it? Divine is a chick word at all times. During the years I ground beans I always drank a dark roast. Mark, ever try using the Bodum Santos vacuum coffee maker? It works as good if not better than a French press. They are not expensive either.
With tepid coffee, I like to add Stok. It's an espresso caffeine shot in a coffee creamer cup that is free at 7/11.
Stok provides a boost of caffeine and rounds out the flavor when the coffee is subpar. Otherwise, I enjoy black coffee. Black coffee may taste like dirt, but it was ground this morning.
