I use an older Mr. Coffee drip machine I bought at a garage sale for a couple dollars. It has lasted longer than some brand-new machines. I also have a French press for when I just use boiled water, which can be done on a stovetop, but it's more for camping. If I ever do go stovetop, I'd like to get a Moka pot, but I think the Mother Thing has an old percolator squirreled away in storage that I should try, too. My parents never drank coffee, and I think they just had it on hand in case guests wanted to brew something.
