@sundogplanets Drip coffee exists here!
I worked in a building, an old telecommunications building, which had signs posted warning about asbestos. There we had a drip coffee maker and a microwave.
OH! And you'll sometimes find them in small town motels (though I think most of them have switched to the same 2 brands of instant coffee. One of them doesn't smell like urine so that's the better of the two).
