You get more caffeine in french press because it allows the oils of the coffee to pass through the metal mesh... paper filters don't let much of that oil pass. I always preferred a french press taste!
I have this machine at home:

I drink black coffee, unsweented/ no cream. I like my coffee like my woman: dark. But ill drop some cream in her coffee. lol
