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 defines the final coffee taste. Coffee grounds amount contributes to coffee strength, and water amount contributes to extraction. The more water you add, the more bitter your coffee becomes for the same time period. So, if you want to get the taste you like every time, you need to measure both coffee grounds and water precisely.
