Buy cheap grounds in the biggest quantities you can store. I actually prefer Cafe Bustelo from local latino supermarkets (which is inexpensive, but not "cheap", it's really good!). Buy a coffee maker where no hot water touches plastic. Just glass and steel.
You will find that this gets you most of the way to great coffee.
I had this guy, and it lasted about 5 years. But you can do DIY pourover with similar results, electric or stovetop tea kettle + carafe with pourover:

Keep it simple, and good coffee is cheap. No need to re-use grounds.
I do have one use case for grounds re-use: If I want something hot to drink in the afternoon. I have good tolerance for caffeine (I have never become physi8cally dependent), but I just have to keep caffeine consumption to before 3pm, or I might have a hard time sleeping. A re-run of the morning's grounds (usually 3 scoops of grounds), gives me coffee flavor, but without too much caffeine.
