Coffee maker can keep your coffee warm basta naka plug lang.

my experience naman,
coffee maker gives a more delicious product. but it needs electricity and occupies a larger footprint. it's also more expensive.
the french press, to my tongue, gives a somewhat "unfinished taste". lalo na kung the water ain't all that hot. but it's cheaper and needs a much smaller shoe size.... until you input the source of hot water.
and yes, the coffee maker can keep your coffee hot.
coffee maker for me.

Okay so coffee maker (drip pot) vs french press

Tastewise:

Coffee maker makes for a "cleaner" cup, since it uses a paper filter. Cleaner literally because even the tiniest of sediments will be filtered out and cleaner taste because the paper filter will also catch the oils from the coffee.

A french press will make a more robust cup, with more body. It's an immersion method of brewing, meaning the grounds will have more contact with the water, and no paper filter so the oils will go through as well. Be mindful though to steep at most around 4 minutes and to decant immediately after pressing the plunger so the coffee doesn't get unpleasantly bitter.

Ease of use:

Coffee maker: Put in paper filter, some grounds, then water. Press a button then you're good to go. Only downside is if you're mindful of the waste from the single use coffee filter--that you have to buy separately.

French press: Heat water, pour over grounds in french press, wait 3-4 minutes, press plunger, then decant into mugs. Less waste and less carbon footprint. Just note that you need coarse ground coffee-- if too fine, you'll have some residue at the bottom of your cup.

Capacity:

Coffee maker, anywhere from 4-8 cups. Or more. French press 2-4 cups.

Price:

You can buy either for less than a thousand.

Hope this helps
