I’m a scales and timer and in-line water filter guy, but the OP said he found cafetière a faff. I reckon the last few pages of suggestions are enough to put him back onto instant.
I believe cafetière is the closest you can get to chucking coffee and water together and getting an ok coffee.
hangedup-
The irony is not lost on me, however everytime I have to use a cafetiere, the wash up is the faff I do not need in my life. Also, if you don't stir after some steeping, the crust messes up the plunge...so I'm partially with the op on 'cafetiere = faff'. I will die on the hill of aeropress is least faff.

How busy is your life?!
A cafetiere is probably only beaten by an aeropress in term of least faff coffee solution due to the minimal washing up. Biggest downside of a cafetiere is the left over sloppy ground situation - so i prefer any filter method for ease of disposal - but the aeropress is also just bung coffee + water in, add tiny filter paper to screen, screw together, wait 2 mins, plunge into cup, unscrew, pop coffee and filter into bin, run everything under tap - enjoy.
Failing that posh instant.
