It looks like I'll have to compare prices between a good sized bottle of white vinegar against the cost of a new coffee pot. I thought I had some white vinegar hanging around, but it turns out I don't.

I've had coffee from a french press before, and it wasn't bad. I've also had coffee made by the "cupping" procedure you may have seen in documentaries about companies that make premium coffees. I would call it a variation on cowboy coffee, and it also wasn't bad, but I'm more the type to brew a pot, have a couple cups from it, and reheat the rest in the microwave until it's gone. Wash, rinse, repeat.
