Different beans and a different mug. I have no complaints about the Moccamaster, going on about 5 years now. I liked it enough to get a Moccamaster Cup-One for when I am only having a single cup.

Nothing fancy for me. A teaspoon of Maxwell House instant in a cup of boiling water with milk and sugar and I'm good.

Where do you get the Kona?

I've recently got a percolator. To be honest, it kinda sucks. The coffee is probably better than drip by a significant amount but the process is more complicated. The only way to not get grounds is to use both a disc and a wrap filter. It works better the fewer cups you make at a time. 12 cups comes out lukewarm. 10 cups is better but 8 or less is best. It's impractical.
I'm probably going back to drip.

Hand grinder (Hario, I think) and a Chemex (pour over). Cheap and good
I keep getting tempted by Jura though...

Drip now, but would like to try French Press.

Most days just electric drip.
However I do use a pour-over at work, and a French press or Moka Express on weekends or days off...

At work only, electric drip with a cheapo Mr Coffee. It tastes better with distilled water.

Family gave me a Baratza Virtuoso for Christmas and a variety of beans...mmmmm. Using a Kitchenaid drip cone brewer. I'll up my game to an SCA certified brewer when this one dies

Been using drip makers for years. I have never felt that the coffee was better than my old percolator plus the aroma and sound of the percolator has always been missed. Every time I get a inkling to buy a new percolator I'm shocked at the cost. I might give the press type maker a try.

Cuisinart electric drip that grinds the beans immediately before brewing.

Respectfully: why?? The Presto percolator I use costs just $40. That seems very minor, as compared with some of the other systems mentioned here.

I thought I knew what good coffee was until I spent 3 weeks in Italy. The above is about as close as I can get without an 8hr flight east.

Keurig when I need a quick cup, either at work or at home. However, my preferred method when I’m not in a big hurry is my AeroPress.

Keurig most mornings, I make two small cups and pour it into one cup. Occasionally I make a cup in a French press.
Honestly, the press is better.
