New to coffee

☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
I'd say go to a local thrift store, if they got an automatic drip machine in working condition for a good price, pick that up.
If you're just getting into something it's always a good idea to start cheap and figure things out as you go
Basic basket coffee can be good, but it's easy to make little mistakes that make the coffee taste pretty bad. If you go this route and don't like the taste then try changing things up a bit. Reduce the amount of coffee, or use cold water, or try getting s different roast. And despite how popular dark roasts are, I highly recommend trying a light roast at least once. It's a much more approachable coffee, and hey, it has more caffeine!
