I'm sorry if this is unoriginal but...
whats the best coffeemaker for poorfags
are high end machines worth the extra price
French press
Yes
Buy a quality burr grinder ($70+), a kitchen scale that can measure to tenths of a gram at least, an electric kettle with a long spout, and a simple brewing method like: Hario V60, Aeropress, Chemex, etc.

Poorfag here. Moka pot or French press are the best bang for your buck

Depends how poor you are and how you like to drink your coffee.
I had a De'Longhi EC145 which was cheap. Got about 4 years use out of it, being used once or twice per day. It only broke due to moving house - I think it got knocked around a bit during the move. Obviously the espresso made from a cheap machine isnt as good as an expensive coffee shop machine. However, it was perfectly acceptable for a cheap home set up. The milk steamers on cheap machines also arent great, but since I was only really making espresso I wasnt too concerned.
Hit up your local thrift shop you can usually get a nice coffee machine for 10 or 15 bucks

You need a kettle like this.
It's near impossible to pour as evenly, slowly, and accurately with a dollar store kettle that has the traditional 'tetrahedron' shape. If you're going to do a variety of methods, most importantly the pourover, correctly, you will need the ability to pour precisely.
I like a scale that measures to the tenths place. Sometimes you are working with a relatively small number and +/- 1g is somewhat significant. It's nice to have around for other kitchen applications, as well. It's so much easier and more consistent to follow recipes by weight rather than volume.
