I think it's more of the issue with the small grit that gets through the mesh. Clean-up is otherwise easy, I just prefer no fines in my cup.
Clever Dripper may be an answer but I just had a look at the Hoffmann method for the Clever Dripper and it looks like more faff.
I am just being lazy and want that second cup on demand, as opposed to setting up for another brew.

Well there's your solution, keep with the French press, and just pour through a V60 ;)
Chemex might be worth looking into, I used to brew 500ml for the morning in mine. Could always brew two cups and pop half in a flask for later.

Ever since having a baby I've been making v60s straight into this thermos cup, as the time I have to make it and drink it rarely overlap these days. The v60 cone from the decanter fits perfectly in it and I can make 500ml and forget about it until I need to pour out a cup. Keeps coffee warm all day it's bloody brilliant, I made a brew at 7am and had the 2nd cup around 4 and it was at perfect drinking temp.

I'm sure a real coffee guru will out me right if I'm wrong on this but fines in your French press coffee is more down to geindnquakity than the fact itsna French press.
We used to get lots of fines in our coffee but our new grinder has totally eliminated that.

Guessing it's the cleaning of the filter. Personally I find the V60/Clever Drippers a lot less faff due to just chucking the paper filters out (obviously not applicable if you're going the cloth/metal route). But even the Technivorm/Moccamaster brewers will have the same amount of cleaning. Unless it's the pouring that's a faff. Personally I've never found an issue with that, but then again I'm happy to use a siphon for a daily brew.
Chemex might be a decent middle ground as they're big enough that you can get away with just putting all the water in at once as opposed to the more steady/intermittent pours that are normally required by the V60.
Though having written all of this, assuming the Clever dripper is big enough, that seems like your best bet.
