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 (and particularly, consistency/reliability) in scales matters, but you don’t need an expensive scale. It just needs to be accurate to a gram (tenth of a gram is better but not necessary) and able to measure up to the weight of your largest batch+brewer+mug/carafe. (1kg should do)
Lots of kitchen scales will work. Coffee-oriented scales also have a timer function which is very handy. Some have more sophisticated functions as well.
