My recommendation is just to install an instant hot water tap in your sink, costs about $200 installed. And get a decent burr grinder for about $50. Set the number of cups, start the grinder, then get the hot water, add grounds, mix, wait 4 minutes. Great french press coffee quick and easy.

When the only way to get something is to convince someone who has one and obviously likes it to sell, it can get expensive. Is there anything about the 1 remaining luger .45acp that makes it a great gun? No, the US rejected it because it was a finicky piece of crap. But there's only 1 left, and it's worth well north of a million dollars.
It sounds more like you should have left off tuition, unless you sent your brother to pay the tuition. Tuition is what you pay so that you can attend the class.
