I know what your getting at, I wanted to steer clear of a French press or stove top style because of how messy they are and the inevitability of the grounds getting in to the waste tank.
I didn't want to go the Nespresso route due to the cost of a decent unit and the cost of pods not to mention the electrical load. Plus I don't really like the coffee from them, I always find it too cold.
