When it comes to brewing your ground coffee, there are a lot of choices:

1) Percolator –

old school method pretty much replaced by the drip coffee maker but you can still see them in westerns and campfires

2) Drip -

Automatic coffee maker – the de facto standard found in home and offices everywhere. Often accompanied with a large tin of pre-ground coffee

3) Vacuum Pot –

cool looking stacked glass compartments where the coffee defies gravity with the help of vapor pressure and moves to the upper chamber

4) Pour over –

put grounds in a filter then pour hot water over it

5) Aeropress –

similar to French press but manual pressure is used to force water through a fine filter

6) French Press –

soak your coffee in hot water then press away the grounds with a wire filter

7) Brikka –

stovetop espresso – heated water creates pressure and releases the weighted valve to force hot water through coffee grounds

8) Espresso machine –

pressurized water near boiling is forced through a puck of coffee grounds by a pump, resulting in a thick concentration of coffee
