I got up this morning and thought "I need a coffee". I'm not interested in pour overs, I want that shit ready when I get up. Are people still doing drip coffee makers in 2026? Or are they all bullshit machines full of vendor lockin?

Drip machines are great and you can get really cheap at a thrift store, they last forever. I got a cuisinart at an effective 80% markdown that has a clock so it can be programmed to make it just before I get up :)
Thwy also make good coffee, a fancy pourover like a chemex is making the coffee the same way! If your tap water tastes good use that, otherwise use a filter and zapatista beans (make sure you use a burr grinder) and your coffee will be great even if its the cheapest mrcoffee you can get.
