In my opinion, the Keurig machines are really expensive per serving of coffee. While they make decent coffee, I don't think it's good enough to make up for the price difference. There's also the waste factor, with all the packaging.
My preference is a French Press. Put your coffee in. (I use about 1 lightly rounded tablespoon per cup). Then add boiling water. Put the lid on and wait a minute. That gives the grounds time to get saturated. Open it up & give it a stir, then replace the lid. Wait 2-3 more minutes then depress the plunger, and, voila, yummy coffee. If you don't want full-sized French Press, I've seen some single serving ones floating around, too.
If you don't have access to a kitchen to boil water, a good drip machine works fine. This one is my backup when I need lots of coffee for friends. Use the same ratio on the grounds. If you use a drip machine, be sure to turn it off before it cooks the coffee. It will turn bitter.
I'd invest in a grinder, too. Fresh ground tastes so much better than pre-ground. Use a coarser grind for a French Press than a drip machine. If you're making espresso, grind the coffee very fine.
When you're buying coffee, look for 100% Arabica beans. Robusta beans are much cheaper, and are used as filler by a lot of brands. When you think of bad coffee, you're probably thinking of Robusta bean coffee. Arabica beans grown in Sumatra, Java, Ethiopia, Jamaica, Colombia, Kenya and Guatemala tend to be popular, though there's great coffee from other places, too.
Personally, I like medium-dark to dark roasts, but experiment and find what works for you. I don't make pre-flavored coffees. I think if you want flavored coffee, it tends to work out better if you add the flavoring yourself. A little cinnamon, a dusting of roasted hazelnut, or a stick of vallina tastes a lot better than the flavored oils they put on the beans.
Lots of stores sell sample size bags of coffee. You may find some that sell loose coffee. If you're lucky, you may even be able to find a local roaster. Don't buy too much at once because coffee does go stale, even if it doesn't go bad.
Good water's also important for good coffee. You don't have to break the bank, but if your tap water doesn't taste good when you drink it, it's probably not going to do much for your coffee, either.
For a lower price grinder I would go with a burr hand grinder. Something like this one Hario Skerton for $40
For electric, I've been using what seems to be the lowest recommended for anything other than espresso. A refurbished Baratza Maestro (Looks like now it's called the Maestro Plus) which is $95.00 from Baratza -Maestro Plus be sure to click refurb and not new for the cheaper one.
I do not time right this second to respond to this in full, and I would appreciate us keeping these to r/coffee unless you are requesting a piece of equipment, but look into this!

Not sure of your definition of 'cheap'. This is relatively cheap in the world of burr grinders. It's the one I've been using for the last couple years. Cleaning it can be a pain, but it does a decent job for under $50.
