The Sowden pitcher doesn't get a lot of talk anywhere, and it'd intrigued me for a while.

It's basically filter coffee, but it's prepared in a pitcher. Half of your pricepoint.
There's also Vacuum pots, that add a little decoration to the kitchen and produce a phenomenal cup of coffee! http://www.sweetmarias.com/store/brewing/coffee-brewers/vacuum-brewers.html
Or how about the Aeropress. A similar cup and process as the French Press (especially if you get either the Able or Kaffeology stainless steel filters), quite inexpensive, good for traveling, and not easily broken.
