I've had every type of coffee machine from the single cup Melitta to a huge Saeco automatic coffee/cappuccino and I've even made "cowboy coffee" more than a few times when no machine at all was available. That's why I sort of standardized on the French press, it's simple, it's easy to clean and does not take up much space.
