You really don't need all that shit. An Aeropress, a french press, and/or chemex-style pour over all goes for <$50 each and isn't particularly difficult to learn how to use. Need a kettle and a good grinder. Grinder is the only thing worth spending money on, but for this setup, even a $200 grinder is probably overkill. You just don't want the bottom of the barrel blade grinders.

I have a friend who went the aeropress route and he confirms there is a difference between that and the professionally made coffee we get at the coffee shop we both go to. Which is where we met, not incidentally—cheap at-home “espresso” still doesn’t answer the part about going to a public place where you can meet other people at random.
