A french press is the smallest, cheapest, laziest, cleanest way to make 1 or 2 cups of real coffee, ie, not instant powdered coffee. You can (could) get them for a couple bucks and they last nearly forever. Coffee is done 30 seconds after the microwave beeps. Rinse the whole thing down and you're good. No consumables, no filters, no unwashable internal plumbing, no waiting for it to dribble, no tiny plastic parts to break. The coffee tastes like coffee, which is what I expect from coffee.
