How do you make your coffee?

I'm loosely planning on moving out of my parents' house next year as I need another year of saving up money to comfortably be able to live alone. Living alone AND being able to maintain my lifestyle is the ultimate goal for me. As I was pouring my coffee from my parents' big old school carafe / coffee pot this morning, I was thinking "I don't need a massive carafe when I move out."

So how do you make your coffee? Especially if we don't need a giant carafe and need to portion a cup or two for just one person?
