Is there really a difference ?

[Humpdebump]

Let me start by saying I do enjoy coffee, ecspecially with a good stick. I mostly just drink dunkin doughnuts ground coffee in my drip. But after reading this thread I am thinking about purchasing a French press to try out. I just want to know if there is a real difference between the two and what I should try for coffee. Nothing to strong yet and I have a small grinder for beans.
