 I still use my french press from time to time. With my wife and me it takes a full four mugs to start us going. She doesn't even get up without a mug in her hand.

I actually covered that when I said boiling the water and such all took the same amount of time. 
If you use the "inverted power method" then it's about a 1-1:30 brewing times.  Clean up is still the same though - just a few seconds.
