Just start. Its food and you should experiment with different styles and see what you like.
When I'm feeling cheap and in a hurry I like to use instant coffee, but use real cream and flavorings to step it up. It tastes pretty good.
I also really like the aroma and enjoy the prep work of being snobby with a hand grinder to fine grind for my moka pot. That takes quite a bit of time that I don't often have so I don't do it often. I also have a Turkish Coffee pot and can never get it quite right.
Just buy some basic coffee, cream and sweetners to see what you like and what intensity you enjoy of your coffee and how much cream you add. I often like to replace the sugar with honey. If you want to be a bit fancy try some roasts that have some spice or nuts into them.
Under rated, but I like a good cold brew during the summer. All cold brew comes out about the same so its good for coffee that is cheap or going kinda stale.
