It would be analogous to buying a Ferrari and then filling it up with Kerosene and wondering why it still feels like you're driving a Lada.

That said, either of those with good recently roasted beans is going to be a great cup. I stick with a french press since I rarely need to brew more than 6 cups at a time and its not worth having an extra appliance taking up space.
So dumb question, did you mean recently roasted or recently ground? Or both? I was under the impression the beans could have been roasted a while back, it was fresh grinding that mattered, is that incorrect?
