Stove top in a pan, just like everyone else! But just differently enough that saying "that's just like *insert other ethnicity here*" will get you anything from a glare to thrown out the restaurant...

I do like my coffee done that way, but I just don't have time. And the other half would probably kill me for the all pervading coffee flavoured house!

Have you tried the Areopress? http://www.aeropress.co.uk/

As quick as instant, easy to clean up and makes very good coffee. I've had one for about 18 months now and very impressed. It's my go-to when I can't be bothered/haven't time to switch on the espresso machine or boil a pan on the stove.

I think my approach to coffee is the same as my approach to wargaming, I have an electric espresso machine, an Italian stove-top espresso pot, 2 different sizes of Turkish stove-top pots and 2 different sizes of cafetieres and the areopress!

I have a Tassimo, a cafetiere and a jar of instant of which only the instant gets used regularly.

Mate of mine has an Aeropress, reckons it's superb. Too expensive for my tastes, I have a steel filter with a mesh insert (a V60 with a built in filter so you don't have to use paper ones). Brews a cracking cup in @2-3 mins!

Over the years I've had various filter machines, several cafetieres, paper filters, at least a couple of stove top espresso jobs. But simplicity and speed wins with the current one, as it produces (no-espresso) coffee as good or better than any of the others and a lot quicker and easier :D

I can't take drip or squash filter stuff any more - love in a canoe coffee.  :P

Here is another step.
I thought a V60 was a version of a Volvo, does it make coffee as well?
  I am mainly a tea drinker, can you tell?

OIC!

Tsk, might as well drink instant :D

Eh, never been overly fond of tea though I do like it black with a hint of lemon, or green. Either way strong enough to make your teeth cringe, please.

And beer. Pretty much any beer :D

V60 - it's the "posh brand name" one of https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017P2Q1M6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1, only it uses disposable paper filters which means more hassle. I like mine better :D
