Was making coffee and considering throwing out my K-cup coffee maker because I almost exclusively use a French press now, and got curious what other people did

Yes, by a few different methods:
Filtered drip from the machine for the morning coffee to go or when I don’t want to put thought into it. It makes serviceable but not great coffee.
Chemex pour over. This is a tricksy method as I’ve made some absolutely brilliant cups of coffee with it, but also some very meh cups, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Aeropress. My preferred “proper” way to make a cup these days. Straightforward method, consistent, works with just about every variety/origin/processing type of bean. Only shortcoming is it’s not efficient for making large amounts of coffee.
Moka pot aka the fauxpresso machine. The one that gets used the least, nice for certain varieties but too fussy for regular use.
