Just as the title says, Im in Suwon and Im looking to buy a cheap coffee maker. Doesn't need any special gadgets, just has to make coffee. Thanks in advance.

goto Yongsan. You can get a brand new Duplex coffee maker for 15000 won. It's only a 6 cup machine, but it's 10 times better than drinking that gross instant Maxim garbage.

you can aslo get French or Dutch (sorry I'm ignorant and don't know which country invented it) drip/press coffee maker. Great, no electricity needed, no filters, cheap and small. They work really well. You can find them in your local Home Plus, Emart, Lotte and even in some markets. You can single cup ones, bigger ones.

You can also go to Costco near Sadang (just north of Suwon, actually get out at Seonbawi Station line 4 then 5,000won taxi ride to Costco) and get all your coffee needs there for cheap. Big tin of coffee, 10,000, Caramel syrup, etc...

Cheap coffee machines are in any Hi-mart or E-mart, but where do you find the coffee?

Homeplus have a good selection.

They have bags of coffee beans, which they grind for you in about 3 mins.
I bought a bag of Hikoko or something like that, last week!

For one-cup brews i got McNulty coffee bags in tesco too.

Saves killing your digestion drinking that maxim sugar stuff, to give you a lift after lunch.

I heard this but Ive been to youngtong homeplus like 5 times and havent seen any CHEAP coffee makers. All they have is the really expensive fancy ones. Im just wondering where you saw this?
