My little 4 cup drip coffee maker does this without me having to hold the filter.

And it makes subpar coffee.

Tastes fine to me. Far better than when I do it with a French press.

The problem with coffee makers is the first 1/2 ounce of water is lukewarm and that first water is most important for extraction.

But if you are going to add milk and sugar, the brew doesn't really matter.
