I roast my coffee. I use either a La San Marco 85-16M (costs a lot), a bodhum stainless press or, most often, a Chemex. It's inexpensive and extracts great coffee. You can always get a permanent filter if you tire of dealing with paper.
Chemex, for the win.
That, or an old Starbucks Barista espresso maker. Find in Ebay cheap.
Chemex is good. My new Hario glass filter is fantastic.

Of course you need the burr grinder and spring water. I used to get the fancy-shmancy La Minita beans but Dunkin-Donuts beans are almost as good and half the price.
I second the Chemex.
I got one for Christmas this year and it makes an amazing cup of coffee. But, you need a boiler and have to manually pour it. Maybe 3-5 minutes of your time to make it.
Here they are on Amazon.
