Thanks for all the chiming in, guys. I love my Aeropress, but since it's getting old I'll definitely look into the Chemex. Most of the better baristas here in KC use one anyway, and they give tips out every few months on how to use it on the news.
I love my li'l Hario hand-cranker. It was recommended by fellow GHers and was well within my price range. Granted, I'm a manual kind of guy (manual transmission, turntable owner, still use a moka pot for espresso, prefer dice rolls over virtual randomizers) and I've never personally used a high-priced industrial fancy-pants grinder, either. The only negative I've found with the Hario is that the top metal piece over which the crank connects is wearing down. I've used it almost daily for 2 years and I grind my beans fine for espresso so I'm giving it a workout.
I don't see why you can't hook up a Dewalt drill to that..
