Looking for recommendations on coffee makers. Preferably a drip coffee maker. I've been using a percolator for years and while it usually works fine, it doesn't always brew thoroughly if the water isn't cold enough.

I got a French press and used it for awhile. I'm extremely lazy though and got tired of having to clean the coffee grounds out of the screen. That's something I didn't consider before buying it. I switched to a chemex that I like much better. Yeah, there are disposable filters but it works better for me. If I were starting over, I'd probably just get some kind of pour over thing that fits over my mug. That would take up less space than the chemex.

I probably shouldn’t, but I just wash it all down the disposal, or dump the grounds in my plants.

Not a coffee drinker at all, but that’s what I encourage people to do: dump them in their compost bin.
