Broke college student here: I am extremely happy with my aeropress! I started out just microwaving water in a Pyrex measuring cup, but I've since gotten a kettle. You can decide how much it costs. This is an inexpensive tool that doesn't require expensive accessories. Plus, the paper filters it comes with can be reused. My personal record is a week on one filter disc with no issues. I could've used it longer, but I forgot one morning when I was in a rush and ejected the coffee puck with the filter into my trash can. The ~350 disks can easily last 2 years with daily coffee You can experiment with different steeping times, different brewing methods, different temperatures until you find something that suits you. You get personally involved with the making of your coffee or tea. Personally, I brew tea with an inverted method but prefer to do coffee upright. I brew them both at 175 F, but allow them to steep for different lengths of time. Cleanup is a breeze, too. The plunger does most of the cleaning for you. When you've brewed your hot beverage, take off the cap, optionally save the filter disc, press down on the plunger to eject the puck of coffee or used tea, and rinse. If mine were to break somehow, I'd definitely take advantage of this drop.
That said, I'm super interested in the Flair Espresso Maker and the American Press!
