How do you make your morning coffee?
I used to use a French press as you can make more than one cup. However the cleaning process and mediocre temperature holding drove me to use either the pour over process or an aeropress.
Both are much easier to clean. The quality of the aeropress is slightly better than pour over, but it makes a smallish cup.
They have an XL new version, but not ready to spend $70 bucks yet.

The percolator is louder than a drip machine but only for the few minutes it takes to brew the coffee. Start with very cold water. As soon as it's done, I pull the basket of grounds out & set it on a saucer under the sink. Later, I dump the grounds in an old yogurt container & then out to the garden or trash. I just think it keeps the coffee fresher not having the grounds drip in it.
Every three weeks or so, fill the pot with white vinegar & drop the basket in too, & let them soak. Then scrub & rinse. I reuse the vinegar about three times before tossing it.
Full on coffeesnob and mail order my organic, fair trade coffee beans from a friend who is a roaster. Been buying my coffee from him for over 15 years.
I like it with a little sweetener, honey, raw sugar or maple syrup and half and half.
Now that I found Keurig knock-offs cheap ($8 at the thrift store for a single-cup model) and like $20 for the larger one (that I haven't fired up yet), I go the lazy route, using the "Uncle Leo defense" (I'm old)
I have stuck with Philz (the best, IMO, and new to k-cups) or Safeway/Von's Italian Roast (a fine white-label house brand).
Lowdown on cones.
The revived Zevro is called "Clever Dripper"
It has a cone with a filter mesh and a valve that remains closed as long as the cone and its integral base are sitting on a level surface, but which opens when you place it on a cup.
The main reason I got one is because it's so easy to empty the grinds after use, unlike a French Press, even the one that has a built-in scoop below the grinds that you lift via a handle. Of course, any filter facilitates this operation, but the convenience of "brew 4 minutes and park it over your cup" is nice.
When friends visit, I call on "Joltin Joe DiMaggio" and found some Peet's Italian Roast..
Because at 3:45 AM (when I get up to try to get to the dog park with my pup before 5 to walk a few miles), I am in no frame of mind/condition to take more than two minutes to make coffee.
Works well, and I LOVE my Japanese tomato red ceramic pour-over filter. Oh... and I drink it black-- good quality, but not overly expensive Arabica beans (albeit that is about to change mightily, given drought and tariffs. 
)
Once a week or two, I make a latte with a Nespresso machine, microwaved milk, and a hand frother.
After reading a blog from a lab guy who cleaned out the Keurig at work and found horrific things growing inside the tubing, I will never use one of those. I don’t find a French press problematic to clean in comparison. Would rather have stubborn coffee stains on the screening rather than slimy bacteria. 
Most of the time, I just dump a big ol’ PG Tips bag in my cup and pour boiling water over it. I think it packs more caffeine in a cup than even coffee does.
Sadly, Mealthy went teats up a while back, and I’ll die if my electric kettle ever breaks…
