I just went with a service (Composting Crew). It’s $30/month and I just do what you describe in the OP. I can have compost delivered in certain seasons, so it’s really that easy.

I have the OXO countertop compost bucket and an Earth Machine in my backyard. Fill bukcet, dump bucket in EM, wait, remove finished compost from the bottom of the EM on occasion. It's easy. You can get a lot more nuanced with compost, but this is the lazy woman's way and it works for me.

My tumbler bin has 2 sides. One is cooking . I add to the other. I keep a Rubbermaid in the fridge and take it out when full.

Mine is pretty simple, but I’m not sure it’s that effective. 
I collect vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and eggs shells in a bowl, then empty the bowl into a compost tumbler I keep in my backyard. I don’t put meat, eggs (other than shells, and I rinse those), or dairy out there because those can attract rats. As I said, mine is a tumbler, so I do turn it. But not every day, and it isn’t hard.
The main problem is that a basically have to stop using it for a couple months while everything finishes composting before I use it in my garden. I tried to fix this problem by having TWO tumblers, but picture a typical rowhouse yard with two composters and you’ll see why that was ridiculous!

Can someone give me a super easy composting setup? I would like to start this, but all the articles I read say "it's so simple" and then make it seem really complicated.
What I envision working for me is a countertop bin that seals and is easy to clean for scraps and then a backyard composter where you just throw it in the top and that's it. Take out the "finished" compost from the bottom when it's ready. I don't want to turn it or have it take up a ton of space. I'd love to have specific product names or links.
And then I need to know if there's any kind of food scrap I can't put in it. Thank you!!!
