Plunger Pot/French Press
A more recent version of the jug method, a glass cylinder with a top which has a plunger rod passing through it. The rod is attached to a metal filter that fits securely inside the cylinder. Add coffee grounds and hot water, let the grounds steep and then press down the plunger to force the grounds to the bottom of the cylinder.

Drip Filter
There are many different kinds of drip filters: one would be the automatic electric coffee maker with pointed or flat-bottomed filters. Some people with drip filter coffee makers have found they can taste a paper taste from the filter, so they use reusable metal filters.

Percolation
Water is boiled in the percolator, the water is then forced up a metal stem into a filter basket containing coffee grounds, then it drips back into the bottom section of the percolator, circulating until the correct strength is reached.

Espresso Machine
Steam is forced through dark roasted ground coffee that is in a filter insert clamped into the machine. The thick espresso experience comes out with a hat of foam on top, known as crema. The steam may also be channeled through a spigot that injects it into a pitcher of milk, resulting in the hot, frothy topping for latte and cappucino.
