I've used all sorts of coffee makers. they all seem to have their own version of cons. Tried a french press for a while, good coffee, but the hitch is cleaning it later. you dont just lift out a paper filter for disposal, so your tapping it on the garbage pail rim, then there's always a need to rinse the rest out in the sink. I never liked the idea of all the grounds in the plumbing. I got a Kirig a few years back, never found a cup for it that was satisfactory, coffee never came out as hot as any other method, and my typical coffee cup is one of those stainless 20 oz, so I never liked the teacup portions. Lately I've been using an electric teapot looking water heater, and a cheapo pour over coffee maker. It takes a bit more attention, but I like the results and simplicity.
Years back, i stayed in an elk camp and the camp cook had a percolator type coffee maker. Decent coffee, the cook always put an eggshell in the pot. When asked why, he only replied "I never had a decent cup of coffee, that wasn't brewed with eggshells.
