Indubitably! I've never owned anything but! They do get worn out though...I always thought they ought to come with spare screens. My problem is that I regularly disassemble them to clean them, which makes the screen fray faster.
I do grind my own, even though its a fancy burr grinder, its still not sifted (which is the real trick in getting really consistent grounds), and you do get them coming through the screen. Your approach of using pre-ground coffee is actually the hot tip on french press....
And yes, a light touch helps. One of the reasons I think that people who use manual-pull espresso machines are silly snobs. Leave those to the cute espresso guys in Italy...
Do you know how helpless you feel if you have a full cup of coffee in your hand and you start to sneeze?
