I get my own bean, and I use a burr mill grinder, really nice one, and I use a Keurig, EZCup reusable filter holder, and ecobrew filters. Because it makes a pretty descent cup of coffee, in about a minute with no cleanup required. I've tried percolators, french press, open drip, and aeropress, and they all have uniqueness's, but to my pallet, they aren't so good that their worth the convenience. Cleaning an aeropress 7 times a day starts eating into your productivity faster than reddit.

Why do you find the Aeropress inconvenient to clean? I just dump the "hockey puck" of grounds into the trash. IMHO it's easier than a french press by a long shot.
Easier, than a french press certainly. In the office, I have to take the whole setup to the kitchen to rinse and wash it it off, and dry it before the next use. With the Keurig, and the setup mentioned above, I just drop the filter in the trash, as there are no stray grounds. It's not as good as the aeropress, but it's way better than having a classic drip coffee machine. It's all about what compromises are more important.
