Probably not what you are asking for...but I would suggest you try a stainless steel pot and use some sort of pour-over setup for making coffee. The stainless can be used with any heat source, you don't have to worry if it's perfectly clean or dry, and there is no cleanup involved. All of the mess from grounds is contained in the filter. Straight into the garbage with it.
I used a percolator for a while, but bending over the creek while trying to clean out coffee grounds was a PITB. Probably shouldn't be putting grounds in a creek anyway.

I use this one. Got it for camping, liked it so much I use it every day at home too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005NCWQ/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You and me, Jacob. I've tried pretty much all coffee methods and the simple pour over method is, for me, the best by far (I use the Melitta and a simple stainless coffee pot). I brew into an Ozark Trail 20 oz mug with the Yeti Magslider lid. I like dark roast coffee so we buy San Francisco Bay French roast beans and grind what we need for the day each morning.
Here's what it looks like when camping. The mug in the photo is a Yeti but I like the tapered waist of the OT better so switched to that after this photo was taken.

I invested in the Snow Peak Field Barista Set about a year ago because it is small (nesting) and stainless. It's ridiculously expensive...but I use it every morning, camping or home. My coffee is always exactly the same wherever I am and the best part is that I don't have to wait in line at any coffee shops (or pay $4 for coffee anymore).
You can do the exact same thing with parts that cost less than $50.00. There are never any coffee grounds on the counter with pour-over (or in your drain).
For the year before I bought it my rotator cuffs were starting to ache all the time. Turns out that manually grinding my coffee for two minutes each morning with alternating hands fixed it. Maybe you can get your HMO to pay for it.

mep, there is a simple fix for cleaning french presses
take a square of good quality HD paper towel just a bit larger than the diameter of the pot
separate the layers and place a single layer over the top of the pot before installing the press
this becomes an additional filtering layer and keeps the grounds from getting in the factory filter which my eyes read into your post as being the clean up issue
you only need to learn to press a bit slower...
once you decanter/pour up your freshly made coffee into your favorite cup/mug clean up is a breeze
remove the paper towel wrapped press, add a bit of water to the pot, swirl & sling the grounds over a grassy area, take the paper towel off the bottom of the press filter and dispose of it in the campfire, rinse the press and wipe the pot clean. VOILA
you can even use 4-cup drip coffee filters w/ the wrinkly edges trimmed down a bit instead of paper towling

Mine is similar though older has worked well for like 20 years... as mentioned the handle will burn in a campfire if not extremely careful (and only kept warm on the rocks beside the fire).
...to remove coffer grounds simply open the basket and shake into the trash. Let the basket and (hopefully now empty) percolator dry the brush out any remaining grounds with a (hopefully)clean) finger.
It normally takes several pots of coffee after cleaning the pot to get the coffee tasting right again. I might clean the pot once per summer; your mileage may vary.
Enjoy!

Salt and a few ice cubes are perfect for cleaning coffee pots. Shaken and swirled around the pot will loosen any coffee residue. Pour out, Let dry, wipe out any remaining residue with a filter or paper towel. If you use any kind of detergent it takes many pots of coffee before it starts tasting right again.
Percolators baskets are easily cleaned by dumping out grounds when finished with coffee. Let the basket dry and the remaining grounds will just wipe out. They do make coffee filters that will fit percolator baskets.
