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.
A plus side to filters is that they filter out cholesterol. Unfiltered coffee such as from a french press can raise cholesterol so better to stick with filters. Also the maker of the aeropress did his own polling and found the vast majority of people prefer the taste of filtered coffee. I’m pretty sure he did pretty rigorous testing, not just self report too.
