I like hand-drip coffee because the equipment is cheap and you get to choose if you want 1 cup or a pot.
But your kettle most likely makes your water too hot, which means you should do it for the frugality. If you want "great" coffee this way you need to hipster up and get a special kettle and special coffee, take special care in pouring and then why not just a filter machine and not be a hipster about it?
Aeropress user here as well. I skip the bean step and use Café Bustelo. It's inexpensive, the grind is just right for both Aero methods (normal or inverted), and tastes great.
Be careful with too much french press. It has been linked with increased blood cholesterol levels[1]. I made the switch to filter-based coffee brewing methods because my levels were high. Obviously not a problem for everyone, but for those with a family history of high cholesterol levels (like myself), it's worth being aware of the potential impact.
I'll keep it in mind, but I had my yearly biometric screening done less than a month ago and was told my cholesterol was "fantastic."
Despite being in the tech world and a coffee enthusiast, I am not one of these guys who drinks four or five cups a day. I make exactly two pots during the day, both of which I share with coworkers, so my intake rarely exceeds two eight-ounce mugs' worth a day.
