Fresh beans - Burr grinder - Aeropress. The three ingredients you need to make a pretty darn good cup of joe. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Nirvana this way. Pretty inexpensive as well.
I think one of the things I really appreciate about the Aeropress is the cleanup time. The plunger cleans the cylinder, everything else rinses with water in about 15 seconds.
I use Cafe Bustelo espresso grind (cheap!) and I get a pretty great cup in about 3-4 minutes. Grinding beans and cleaning the grinder became a turnoff for me.
