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!

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.
