I am a complete noob at coffee making. Which device should I get? I keep reading about stuff like French Press, Aeropress, etc but idk which is good and easy to use for a beginner. If it helps, until now I have only drunk instant coffee (with either milk or sugar or both). Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks a lot for all the replies guys!

I'd suggest you a good grinder, AeroPress and scales. AeroPress is forgiving and versatile, it can brew both light and medium roasts. As to grinder, it's up to your budget, but if you're planning to upgrade your setup later, it's cheaper to start with better but more expensive grinder than buying cheap one and later more expensive one. Scales allow to keep exact water to coffee ratio and get consistent results. Scoops and water marks on AeroPress are not that accurate.

Thanks! Does the accuracy matter a lot? Otherwise I'll get aeropress and grinder and if I like it I'll get scales

Thanks a lot! I have a kitchen scale and measuring cup which I'll use for the time being. Later on I might get sophisticated tools for coffee

The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.
