I do have a French press that I use for weekends when I have the time
I use Mr. coffee too. I never fill up to 12 cups anymore, I have found the the best pot is at most 10 cups, and you dont have the annoying spill like at 12 cups. Makes good coffee. Then I also have an espresso maker if I feel like makeing some fresh ground coffee shots.
10Pups,
we have a few here I admire, I would like to roast my own and enjoy but life gets in the way.
That being said, I do use a French Press when time allows but for the daily grind (and yes I do grind fresh) a Bunn has been my go to.
It makes a good cup O'Joe and takes just shy of 3 minutes.
I just had to replace my first Bunn last Christmas, it had been in service around 20 years and in my house 4 pots is a light day.
I like a drip pot. The hot water goes through the grounds once and that is all. A Mr Coffee is the simplest and trashing the filter is not a bummer.
A Vac pot is next best; again, the water goes only once through the grounds, But, it takes watching unless its an old electric one.
The main thing is to use a full heaping tablespoon of coffee per cup of brew.Vacuum Coffee Maker - How does it work? Demo - YouTube
The old Sunbeams are great if the seal around the Upper section is still good. Usually about $10-$20 at an Antique store.

A Moka pot is my go to for the summer months when a !Kw flash boiler in my espresso machine is a bit much for the air-conditioning to have to handle.

PS I have had all the fancy ones and I still hand pull espresso during the cool months.
