i did, mostly. fwiw, while i like press coffee i also like manual drip,
and manual drip is soooo easy. put a kettle on, start the grinder ...
pour the ground coffee into the cone, pour on the coffee ...

the only problem is that manual drip (ie. a #6 melita cone over a thermos)
seems to be vanishing as people choose their luxurious and affluent
options.

fwiw, you can still get the cone (it works well with #4 or #6 filters)
from sweet maria's, but the full setup seems harder to find:
