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?

At work they tried to take away our coffee and milk/oat milk this year, it's been the only thing among many shitty things that resulted in so much pushback that the organization had to back off. We have a 15min paid coffee break, the drip coffee machines exist in all the numerous offices and it is indeed a very communal thing.
At home we now do aeropress as there are only two people drinking morning coffees and I started to feel uneasy about the wasted coffee as with a drip machine at home you tend to make too much. And you tend to drink too much coffee, which I used to do (two pots a day at my worst). My gi system can't handle it anymore so there's no reason to keep counterspace for the machine.
