I own the AeroPress, a Brikka moka pot, the Flair, a Melitta pour-over, a Handpresso, among other machines not listed here (e.g. Elektra Micro Casa a Leva, Bodum Santos, Bodum french press and others).
For simplicity, nothing beats a pour-over. The AeroPress is ok, but doesn't really add much. The Flair is fantastic if you want real espresso for less than $200 (excluding the grinder of course). It's more difficult to use than filter/drip, but the result rewards the extra work. The Handpresso is also highly recommended. I take one whenever I travel abroad, coupled with a manual Hario MSS-1B grinder. The espresso I get with this kit is very good, though a notch below the Flair. I'm not a fan of moka pots, I have the Brikka which creates fake creme and coffee that isn't so tasty, and a traditional moka pot which performs similarly but produces no crema. I occasionally use the Brikka outdoors, but generally wouldn't recommend it at this price. I also use my french press very rarely because the resulting is not that great. Buy these when you run out of methods to make coffee ;-)
