I've tried several methods over the years, from the old drip machines with the hot plate at the bottom, to percolators, french press, single drips and siphons. In the end, I bought a good dual boiler espresso machine and there is no going back. If that isn't in your budget, pick up the 2 cup hario drip setups and then get a instant hot water machine that can give you 195-205 degrees hot water. You can play around a bit to dial in the temperature but if that's not your thing, sticking with 200 is pretty decent.

As others have said though, do yourself a favor and get a good conical burr grinder and buy fresh whole bean coffee and you are off to a good start.
