Stupid coffeemaker question....

Are percolators still being made? That is what my folks used for decades. I do remember them having a drip machine last time I was there in 02.
Yessir! I use one every day and just bought a new one from the supermarket.

Of course you can spend a lot of money, but you don't need to. I paid 15 bucks for the last one.
No special ground required.
