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!

Accuracy is fairly important, you can do it other ways than with a scale though. For example the aeropress comes with a coffee scoop you can use for measuring beans and numbers on the side for measuring water.

You can always get a scale later, and it doesn't need to be a fancy coffee scale, a normal kitchen one works.

P.S. If you do get an aeropress, check out this video from James Hoffman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6VlT_jUVPc
