I'm lazy as fuck and don't find a V60 much of a faff. I'm a bit more meticulous these days but a few years ago I just used to chuck what looked like the right amount of pre ground coffee from a supermarket in a V60 and dumped a load of water on it and that was a huge improvement on instant.
I have 2 and I don't think I've bought either, got them both for free with a bag of coffee. You're welcome to borrow one if you fancy!

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.
