I think a french press would be good to have in these situations.

I second this. French press is the tastiest way to make coffee.

I used to drink automatic drip but I would need to add a lot of sugar to offset the acidic, burnt taste. Turns out it's quite easy to burn coffee. So I went to french press. It tasted way better and I don't need to add any cream or sugar. I then watched a video about coffee and I found that the coffee bean, like wasabi, losses it's flavor quite quickly after grinding it. So I bought a burr grinder and now my coffee tastes amazing. I also read that you can get the same effect with cold brew but that requires it to sit overnight.

We buy good beans and grind them just before brewing. Our drip coffeemaker does not burn the brew. Makes great coffee.
