I've tried them all and agree pour-over is the best. Easy to set up, very easy to clean up, and makes a great cup. I use a Kalita white ceramic cone with Kalita "Wave" paper filters (buy them on Amazon).

I have an Oxo grinder next to the electric hot water kettle, so it's all handy and ready to go in the morning. I also use a kitchen scale to measure both the coffee and the water (22 g coffee + 350 g hot water) to get consistency. I put the mug, Kalita cone, and Kalita filter right on the scale to make it easy to measure. That way you know when to stop pouring in water.

I thought I might be missing out on some flavor so I pulled my French Press out last week. The coffee was no better but the mess afterwards! Ugh, just awful.

Freshly boiled water over espresso grind in an unbleached Melita filter. No grounds stuck in your teeth (French press or Turkish), burnt taste (percolated), or plastics to the landfill (Keurig Cups).
