My cousin works for an industrial coffee machine company and recommended the Bonavita BV1902DW for home use. Have had it for 6 months and like it. Looks pretty cool and is easy to use.
Is your goal French press specifically (as in, the coarse grind and long brew time that results in that characteristic slightly-grainy taste) - or is it more generally non-shitty coffee from an automatic machine?
The mechanics of French press make it hard to automate, so I'm not terribly surprised there's not a lot of robotic presses out there. If your goal is just good coffee without a long manual process, the best option I'm aware of are the automatic "pour-over" machines:

There's also "fully automated" espresso machines. A lot of them even include a grinder, so in theory you can press 1 button and get a latte or americano or whatever a few minutes later. They tend to be $$$ and use up a lot of counter space, though.
My personal setup is fairly manual - an electric kettle and an Aeropress. The electric kettle is way easier than a kettle on the stove - the one I linked has variable temp controls, so you can set it to heat up to 80 C and hold there. Doesn't need constant monitoring the way a teakettle on a burner does, and you'll get much better results with not-quite-boiling water. And the Aeropress makes fucking great coffee, without the PITA of cleaning a French press.
What's your budget?
On the low end I am a huge advocate of manual brewing (french press or pour over) this doesn't leave you with the convenience of coffee brewing as you get out of bed but will taste far better than anything you'll get out of a Mr. Coffee.
I went through three Keurigs over the course of 18 months before throwing my hands up at those damn things. Once I taught myself to brew french press, I never looked back. The coffee tastes better, everything is cheaper, and there's nothing to break.
For drip, I'm a fan of Bonavita products. TD1902DW is a pretty classic brewer. I would rather brew into glass carafe and decant into my own thermal carafe with a solid seal although Bonavita does sell models with thermal carafes (not worth the added premium vs just buying your own IMO).
I can't really recommend one of those machines that lets you use a carafe or mug as I've not used one. I always brew at least 8 cups and store the extra in a thermal carafe.
