I'd vote press pot too.  easy, nothign electronic to break down or wear out.

does require a semi-decent grinder...though I've found the cheap Melita burr grinder will give a good enough grind for a press pot if you're not too turned off by a little sludge...usually very little in my case.

aeropress doesn't seem that amazing to me compared to a press pot, and it requires special filters, and only makes 1 or 2 cups at a time.  I have a large press pot that makes 8 cups.
