Having recently graduated from instant coffee and currently being stuck with using using tea infuser to make coffee I’d like to know what to look for when doing research on coffee machines
If location is relevant I’m in Queensland, Australia
Edit: got a breville barista express
I like the Aeropress. Simple and versatile.
Second this. Get an aeropress, a burr grinder that can go down to espresso fine grind (or find a local roaster that will roast and grind your beans to your liking), a thermometer, and a scale.
Skip the machines that can break down and are expensive to replace or hard to clean.
Edit: If you decide to go with the aeropress, I’d recommend getting one of these flow control caps. A lot of recipes for the ‘inverted method’ of brewing deal with balancing the aeropress upside down and messing around with hot coffee sludge. Just get one of these instead of doing anything inverted and risking burning yourself or spilling hot coffee sludge everywhere.

I’ve tried every way to make coffee at home and aeropress is my favorite (over moka pot, french press, pour over, Mr Coffee, espresso, nespresso, keurig, turkish, etc)
