It's really easy to make great coffee without spending lots on equipment. Sorry if you know this already but to get started with really great filter coffee. Don't bother with espresso unless you're ready to spend lots of cash. I would take a look at the following for cheap but great stuff:
V60 dripper
Filters
Hand grinder - this is probably the most important part so I would be tempted to spend more.
And of course buying fresh coffee from a good roasters is the final part.
