I’ve never use a keurig but FYI all coffee (not fraps) you get from Tims/Starbucks or whatever small coffee place are drip. So that’s the taste you will get.
IMO pour-overs are the best tasting coffee if you like the rich and fresh flavor. It’s extremely simple to make at home (you just need the mold like this and boiling water, pour it over coffee grind slower and voila).

V60 Personally I’d get the glass or ceramic one, but they are a bit more.
Filters
Gooseneck kettle with thermometer Warning, I don’t have this personally, but it does have good reviews. There are a number of gooseneck kettles on amazon to choose from.
There’s a Hario Skerton for $15 used in excellent condition right now
Total=$55.38 Slightly more if you miss out on the Skerton. Beans extra of course. You could make do with whatever kettle you currently have but the gooseneck makes things exponentially easier. Something you could always save for though.
IDK what you’re looking for taste wise for beans, but I like Red Bird for reasonably priced coffees that are extremely tasty.

$15.75 CAD = $12. Why not just try it.
Several other Canadian cafes selling it for C$10 ($8), I even see one selling the smaller 01 version for C$6.99.

It’s not like the V60 is this super expensive piece of equipment just because you’re in Canada, it’s a cheap brewer anywhere.

Keep in mind the “internet” is fairly retarded most of the time 😉
I used this setup for years and never had a problem and made some of the best coffee I’ve ever had:
- 1.) Hario V60 Plastic Coffee Dripper = $6.99
- 2.) Hario V60 Paper Coffee Filters = $5.67 (per 100)
- 3.) Hario V60 Glass Coffee Server = $12.95
You can get good coffee without spending slap-stupid amounts of money. I would recommend he start there and decide if he wants to go further. A cheap french press for next years fathers day wouldn’t be bad!

Just buy a plastic cone, a grinder, and #4 filters. Buy beans in bulk and make coffee at the cheapest and best rate.
It is the cheapest and best quality/taste/speed/temperature/bother ratio

I would suggest a plastic v60 for $8 would be a better next choice.
