K-Cup/Single Cup Coffeee makers.

K-cups are just about the most expensive way to buy coffee, but Keurigs in general are very convenient for single servings, so that's where the money goes. The coffee is good, not great, but judging by your preferences you aren't snobbish enough for that to matter. 🙂

I'm never giving up my french press though.

I'm a bit confused at the pour-over mentioned above. What benefits does it hold over a conventional drip brewer? It doesn't need electricity, yeah, but you need to get the water to a hot temperature somehow... though my water tap doesn't spit out hot water at high-enough temps. Takes less effort to clean (that's being pedantic imo). One less vessel to deal with, assuming your tap has hot-enough water. Less space. Anything I miss?

I use a small 4-cup Black and Decker drip brewer I got for around $10. I'm not that lazy.

A pour over cup is essentially a drip brewer without the automated bits. But you can use it to make a single cup of coffee.

French press can be purchased in multiple sizes as well. I have a 32oz. that I keep at my desk in the office.

Nespresso.

Far superior to Keurig. Makes good coffee. No mixing/grinding/heating/dripping/washing bullshit. Super convenient.
