I find it surprising that you find it to be overly messy / too much of a hassle. Maybe I've just gotten used to it, but I find it much less of a hassle than my old drip coffee maker, and it takes about 10 seconds to clean when I'm finished.

Perhaps I'm just a stickler for efficiency. If it's something that I'm going to do two or three times a day, every day, for the rest of my life, I like to think that I can economize every possible step and movement to the bare minimum. Certainly some people like the ritual aspect of crafting something by hand in multiple steps, and like I said, it was fun for me the first few days until it got old. Now I just want to press a button and have my cup of coffee.
