I think I remember getting a $10 coffee pot at a Family Dollar store back in Massachusetts. There's one in the Valley St. shopping plaza where the Stop & Shop is.

I have one in Florida you can have... won't get it to the Shire for a couple more months.

By then you'll be over your caffeine addiction and won't need it >:D

have you considered:
Put pot of water on to boil
When water is boiling add desired amount of coffee
Drink resultant brew

getting the grounds out can be tricky, but you could use a sock, or a tissue, or even pantyhose to filter out some of the grounds. If you are going to go through the trouble of trying to filter out grounds, you might as well roll up some laminated paper (as you might find in a magazine) into a funnel, then make a nest of un'aloe'd tissue, place this in the funnel, add coffee as desired to the nest, then pour boiling hot water over the grounds, making sure that the run-off from the funnel make it into a suitable container.

Be careful not to burn yourself with the boiling hot water as you pour it over the grounds, it may be helpful here to bend a coat hanger into circles at both ends, one about half the diameter of the other.  Use this to hold the paper funnel over the suitable container, eliminating much of the possibility of scalding yourself.

At one time most coffee was boiled right in the water.  You can stir the grounds into cold water in a sauce pan, bring to a boil while stirring.  Let boil for 1 minute or so.  Allow to settle and pour into a cup being careful not to disturb settled grounds or/and use a tea strainer.

I left mine at Porc Manor. Go pick it up. It's the white one, upstairs.

That's how Lloyd and the other frontiersmen made coffee back in the Gold Rush days.

But I'm B-R-O-K-E at the moment :-(

Too broke to afford a ~$10 coffee maker... but even the cheapest coffee is about $3-4 a pound....
(and some cheap coffee is good stuff, you don't need $5-10 a pound coffee beans most time...)
so if you can't afford the coffee maker, what sort of horrid slop are you planning on drinking? :)
