Chemex pour-over turned out to be the sweet spot: Last summer we rented a house in England for a month but the French-press coffee maker in the house was too small for our family and a pain to clean. So we picked up a Chemex, used it happily, and brought it home.
Supposedly important: We use an electric kettle that allows us to specify the temperature, in this case 200°F / 93°C, not boiling.
Making coffee takes a few minutes of attention but it's a nice way to wake up in the morning — as the coffee is pouring through, I'll get the paper and start reading it, check emails, empty the dishwasher, etc.
Washing out the glassware each time with dish soap and a sponge wand, vice just rinsing: A habit ingrained from college-freshman chemistry class.
