Having recently graduated from instant coffee and currently being stuck with using using tea infuser to make coffee I’d like to know what to look for when doing research on coffee machines
If location is relevant I’m in Queensland, Australia

With drip machines the trick is finding one that gets the water hot enough for proper extraction. Most of them do not. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the Mocca Master is the gold standard here, but it’s expensive.
Of course, the easiest way to get boiling water is with a kettle, and if you can forego the convenience of a drip machine there are a bunch of brewing methods where you supply the water. The French press, the Aeropress and the Hairo V60 pour-over are popular options.
The main thing, though, if you’re serious about the flavor of your coffee, is to grind your own beans.
And make sure those beans have a recent roast date. A lot of coffee bags sold in grocery stores near me don’t even post their roast date.
If you like coffee from a local shop, see if they’ll sell you a bag.
