French press. Didn’t even know what one was until I was around 50, thought it was some fancy, complicated thing I wouldn’t care about.
My wife drinks coffee day and night so we have 4 methods of making it. The cheapo French press is the best IMHO. Use whatever coffee grounds you like, make it as strong or light as you like.
Mine was $11 on Amazon. Finish wore off, looks like shit, works fine.
I got lucky and found a mocha master uno at a garage sale. I really like it but occasionally it gets clogfed by a single grain of coffee and makes a mess does the full size one potentially do the same?
I have had no issues with the large one whatsoever. I have a friend who has had issues with his, but it just needed a good cleaning and has never done it again.
I like the idea of the uno model, but i can make one cup in mine too, and i found the idea of those mini filters unpractical. I also never make just ine (small) cup. I usually make 4, when i wake up and 2 when i just need a single mug. And it is just so fast!

I used to have a thing for coffee brewers. Would try out so many different options and spend a lot of money on getting them (second hand)
I eventually settled on my Moccamaster. Tis the best coffee brewers I’ve had and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else by now

Yeah I had always thought of it as a dream coffee maker so when I found the small one for 5 bucks I was not passing it up. One day I’ll upgrade
I found the large one for the equivalent of $7.70 on the local marketplace
I messaged the seller to check if the price was right, and she said she wouldn’t go lower 🤷
So I went and picked it up the same day. It was even in the original box with the original measuring spoon included!
I have a French press but a stovetop espresso maker is my favorite
I don’t like french press coffee, it’s too oily. For my money pour over is the way to go.
How does that work?
Hario V60 with a #2 coffee filter. Manual drip coffee. Is very good.
That’s my exact set up!
IMO Aeropress males a better coffee than a French press. Have you tried that?
That’s a lot of work to aeropress as much coffee as a french press. I love my aeropress, but it can only do one cup at a time
There’s an Areopress XL model now that can make more at a time https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-coffee-maker-xl
Ah fair. You can do multiple cups if you top up with hot water. But for volume pour over or French press is the way.

Hell yeah, 100x better than a drip.
