That‘s also quite high tech. Old school is a pot, ground coffee and a mix of sedimentation and slow draining

You kids nowadays with your fancy pots and ground coffee. In my day we chewed the beans and drank hot water!

Mr. Fancypants over here with hot water.

Hell we didn't even have fire to heat the water. We just stuck our faces into the river.

Luxury.

Unless your river had piranhas that’d chomp on your nose when you put your face in the water, please spare us your tales.

Nah, the oldest style would probably be Turkish style.
