Instant is disgusting, and while I'd rather down a cup than suffer caffeine withdrawal headaches, it is not an experience to look forward to.

The Bodum French Press is nice, but it's hard to clean, and even though you can store some extra water in there, it is bulky and takes up too much space.

The solution: Turkish coffee (aka Cowboy coffee). The best (and cheapest) way to make coffee is to put a scoop in a mug with your hot water, stir it up, then wait about 20 seconds for the grounds to fall to the bottom. As long as you don't slosh around the cup, they will stay at the bottom until almost the last sip. Simple and easy to clean. It actually makes a pretty good cup also - don't knock it until you try it. I had to convince my friend to give it a shot, and he was surprised to find that it was actually quite good.
