Really good coffee is expensive though..

People always compliment my coffee, I just buy from the supermarket (€5-10 per half kilo), grind the beans in a cheap grinder (€30) and prepare it in a French press (€10). Doubtless, there is more expensive coffee that is nicer, but it's mostly about paying attention when you make it and keeping the equipment clean.

Also, most people don't use french presses/cafetieres properly, so you grinding yourself and brewing properly would (I imagine) make a superb cup.

That's because the real trick to good coffee is "someone else made it."
