Get an aeropress or a hario switch. They're both super easy to use and give good coffee. Plus filtered coffee is slightly healthier cause apparently some of the not so good for you oils get filtered out.
Then either buy some ground coffee from the supermarket or for better quality stuff go to a specialty coffee place and ask them to grind a bag for you. They have good grinders and according to some testing a week old coffee from a good grinder is better than fresh coffee from a cheap grinder.
Then just try different coffees until you figure out what you like and don't like then when you're hooked you buy a good grinder and that's it.
Clever Dripper is a less expensive alternative to the Switch and the filters can be bought at the supermarket unlike the Switch.
Also consider the new Oxo Rapid Brewer as an alternative to the Aeropress.
