I've recently started drinking coffee, but it's been gas station and shitty coffee.
So, I bought myself for Christmas a french press, a grinder and an electric kettle that I can dial the perfect temperature into to the degree.
I forgot to buy beans when I went shopping this morning. So now I'm trying to find and decide on some fresh roasted beans.
Tips?

Find a good local roaster and try their different roasts. I'm not a huge fan of dark roasts I find it makes the beans a bit acrid. The roasting is more important than the bean sourcing IMO. If you want you can try fancier beans but they won't beat a good, local roaster who roasted recently.
Make sure your grind is right for the French press, and if you find the cup is too muddy but still wanna to fancy switch to a pour over. Takes a bit to develop the technique but makes the best coffee.

Agree pourover is the best, plus the v60 is extremely cheap. Isn't as forgiving as the French press but I always find myself going back to it.

I like the beehouse dripper, it's ceramic and it fits with any filters you can get a a grocery store
