I feel like the Espro might be something you'd be interested in. I find I get less silt in an Espro than a French press. The main issues/differences will be in price and serving size. A typical French press is like 2-3 cups. An entry level Espro is around 1.5 cups and there's a bigger one at around 2-3 cups I think.
Another funky one is the "It's American Press".

I bought it as a gift for my bro who is pretty into coffee. He used it a few times and settled back on using his pour over. He said that the American Press isn't bad overall, but there's a serious PITA design flaw. The cleaning of the grinds isn't easy when you have hot coffee grinds. That and dousing it in cold water/letting it cool first to open it to clean is a PITA.
