For less faff than a cafetière you’re probably looking at Nespresso. Honestly don’t go near home espresso, it’s for people who love faff!

How busy is your life?!
A cafetiere is probably only beaten by an aeropress in term of least faff coffee solution due to the minimal washing up. Biggest downside of a cafetiere is the left over sloppy ground situation - so i prefer any filter method for ease of disposal - but the aeropress is also just bung coffee + water in, add tiny filter paper to screen, screw together, wait 2 mins, plunge into cup, unscrew, pop coffee and filter into bin, run everything under tap - enjoy.
Failing that posh instant.

Coffee rookie looking for some advice.
I've migrated from instant to ground in a cafetiere but find it a bit of faff. My girlfriend recently got me a Bialetti that looks great but i'm yet to use it as it seems like more of a special occasion type thing. A long time a go a friend gave me a Gaggia deluxe coffee machine from around 2005. It's been sat in the garage gathering dust but firing it up this morning it switches on and the filter and steamer look to work fine.
I'd like to enjoy coffee more but don't have a lot of time/energy to throw at it right now. Would it be worth getting some descaler/cleaning stuff for the Gaggia and trying that out for size or are the two other options just as good/better for my needs. Alternatively what's the go to starter pack for lazy coffee heads?
Pending feedback i'd probably be happy to let go of the Gaggia if anyone fancies a free clean up project.
