Cold brew, followed by French press. With cold brew you want a coarse grind but it doesn't really matter THAT much compared to pour over. You just dillute to taste. I do it in a french press so it's easily filtered. The french press is also forgiving. I've oversteeped by 5 minutes and the coffee is still drinkable. Lately I've been mostly drinking supermarket generic Arabica bean brews since I'm on a tight budget but I wouldn't do cold brew with specialty coffee anyway!
Did the cold brew in a french press, and it was great! After 18 hours of steeping, it was perfect (given the temperatures outside). After that, it went bitter again, but also, the ratio of coffee to liquid had shifted quite a bit as I started to drink the coffee without removing grounds.
Filtration also was great, no sediment whatsoever.
