Anyway someone gifted me a Cuisinart automatic electric burr grinder a few years ago with adjustable amounts and grind levels and if I ever get divorced it's the only thing I'm taking with me. (I'm kidding, I'll take the dogs too. Plus all the bikes. But other than that...)
Another French Press fan here. The quality is quite good but the hassle factor is medium to high. On days that I am busy/working I wimp out and drink drip. On non-work days we use the French Press.
