The best is any pour over or drip with paper filters.
Methods that don't use filter cause a rise in bad cholesterol[0] if you drink a lot of coffee.

Drip filter machines are ghastly - over-extracted through the middle and under-extracted at the edges. Also, people always seem to skimp on the amount of grinds they use (or maybe I'm habituated to super strong coffee).

Couldn't agree more. Especially since the extraction is so uneven, you need a ton of grinds to make good coffee. Some of the better machines distribute water more evenly. There was a stretch when I used a drip filter daily and I disturbed the grounds half way through. Regardless, I find myself absolutely packing in the grinds to make a decent pot, whereas my beans go much further in a pour over or aeropress.
