My go-to is a level teaspoon of honey mixed into the kind of coffee that looks like black tar, for a beginner I'd suggest buying some of those paper coffee filters and a holder that sits on top of your cup, and a small bag of a '3' strength (most supermarkets do a 2, 3, 4, and 5 roast)

See how the flavour suits you, and experiment with different roasts

If you want to get instant coffee go for Dowe Egberts (the glass jar with the gold label) because it's one of the nicer options (for now, until keurig/dr pepper turn it into just another mass produced coffee)
