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.

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!

Pre-ground coffee is bad? Someone gave me pre-ground coffee which inspired me to do this

Thanks. I'll use up the pre-ground one and then get beans and a grinder.

Depends. Most coffee aficionados prefer beans because then you weigh and grind what you need when you need it for best freshness and taste.

Most pre-ground have been so for years and have lost quite a lot of flavour and might end up in a bad cup.

But it's not a bad place to start, you can find people saying pre-ground is evil but it can do the job for you and maybe that's all you're looking for.

Freshly ground coffee is better, but if you have pre-ground coffee on hand, there's no reason not to use it.
