New to coffee (lemmy.world)

Hi, this sounds like a dumb question, but how should I "get into" coffee? Most of the time, I just use a Keurig and whatever pods I find at Costco. I know there's an entire world out there of people who know exactly what they're doing, but it's all quite confusing.

If I'm typically only ever making coffee for myself, what should my brewing method be? Nespresso? Pour-over? French press?

And should I be looking to try everything black, or are lattes and whatnot a good way to learn what my tastes are?

This video really helped me understand how to approach modern coffee options.

In terms of gear, a pour-over is a good start. You can make coffee as good as anything available with that setup. I don't have the time, so I use use a good, temperature-controlled automatic drip.
