Well I mean, if you dig it you dig it. At the very least instant coffee tends to all taste the same - if you go for beans you're opening yourself up to like infinitely more options if you get bored or want to try something new. Also coffee machines are a psyop, the cheap and cheerful option is something like a plastic pour-over filter cone that just sits on your mug, or one with a carafe if you'll want more than one cup.
But like, that's assuming you're treating coffee like any other drink and are ok with having a slight build time. If you're just looking for a jolt of morning brown ASAP and don't really give a shit then why bother messing with what's working.
For sure, Aeropress is actually my go-to if I'm just making coffee for myself - I sort of get an ironic kick out of how over-engineered and plastic it is, it's the most American shit ever - but figured pour overs are an easier sell for a lot of people. OP should take note though.
lmao Aerobie isn't hiding they used to make cheap frisbee toys before moving onto the Aeropress. It's just so funny to me that a pair of plastic tubes opened up a niche among french and italian brewers
Aeropress gang, such an incredible revelation to have coffee that isn't bitter or astringent in my home. I bought a foamer too and I have bitchin' lattes every morning.

Okay yeah, Aeropress is really good.
