Cheap burr grinder, Melitta pourover, paper filters. Total cost maybe $50 and better than any single-portioned crap which is going to have a ridiculously high total cost of ownership because the coffee (which is pre-ground, and therefore pre-staled) is so expensive.
My home espresso setup is coffee geekdom- Nuova Simonelli Oscar espresso machine and Baratza Vario grinder, about $1700 for the pair, but at my office I have a kettle, an $80 Zassenhaus hand grinder (which will last forever) and a Melitta one-shot and filters that cost me maybe $7 total. Best drip coffee imaginable, but then I also use fresh beans.
