I use this thing: http://www.bodumusa.com/shop/line.asp?MD=1&GID=3&LID... along with a Japanese-style water boiler. I grind the coffee (with a burr grinder; very convenient) directly into the filter, then I put it on top of a cup, then I press a button to dispense the nearly-boiling water. It is not instant, but it does not take long, and you get real coffee.
I might need to invest in that, my coffee pot is too big for my average use case. Any recommendations on burr grinders? My blade grinder works fine, but was thinking about trying a burr grinder out.
