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.
