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!

Aeropress is cheap and easy for a regular submersion brew and if you want to try venturing into the realm of espresso I'd suggest a flair neo cause its cheap and it lets you play with all the same variables of a 3000 dollar espresso machine e.g. pressure/flow control and temp if you already have a temp controlled kettle or a thermometer. Also don't forget a good grinder!
