I would be lost without my Keurig. A small investment but great for a quick cup of coffee or tea, even iced. 

There are several ways to make coffee easily: 1 - coffee filter holder I use a gold filter and a one-cup drip device. It's a little cone shape thing that fits over a coffee cup and the gold filter is reusable. One scoop of coffee per cup per day - very inexpensive. 2 - French press - put in the coffee, put in the press, wait a few minutes, press and pour. 3 - Cold brew pitcher with coffee filter - I also use a cold brew system, which has a filter in the middle of the pitcher. You put the coffee in the filter and fill with water that brews overnight in the fridge and then you can have the coffee cold or hot. I heat up the coffee in the microwave.  

Coffee tastes so much better when it is freshly ground! I would recommend getting a coffee pot with a grinder! K-cups get expensive :(  

I prefer a French Press for coffee - but it is a little bit of clean up. I also like to make Americanos but that is a bit more prep and effort. If you are looking for quick - you can buy a single cup drip (gadget that holds the filter right on your cup) and do a pour over.  

Invest in a Toddy coffee (cold brew) system! It’s much less acidic than normal coffee and has a wonderful smooth, rich taste. I work for a coffee roasting company and this is my preferred way to drink it. Just dilute it with a bit of water and a splash of cream, it’s perfect. 

I got a keurig on clearance years ago and bought a reusable lill k-cup. When kcups aren’t on sale I just use my ground coffee. I love pikes place from Starbucks and house & special blend from Community coffee. 

French press is where it's at for flavor. you can even find one for $20...and like tahoe said it is a little bit more to clean but i find a much better taste because you wash it out after every use. what's an extra minute of my time to not have that nasty old coffee taste?  

Ditto on the French Press!! I had to leave my new Keurig when I moved from WA state to outside of Shreveport, LA. Too, too heavy to ship. Love the idea of the low cost and goodness of the French Press. Good luck!
