It's called the "clever dripper." It combined the best features of a french press and a pour-over: you steep the grounds like a press, but then drain them through a paper filter like a pour-over; it's got the ease of a press (no need to fussily worry it like a pour-over) and keeps grounds out of the cup in a way I never could with a press (plus the paper filter makes cleanup much easier than a press). Added bonus: while I grind my own coffee, you could use pre-ground in it if you wanted to (french presses, by contrast, need a coarser grind than you find in pre-ground coffee).
Costs about $20, my wife claims I no longer have "coffee breath" in the morning, and it makes the best cup of coffee I've ever made at home.
