It’s a light plastic bowl shape with a hole in the center where a black plastic cylindrical piece screws in. About as tall as a coffee mug and twice as wide.
I’m really into coffee. I have an Aeropress and a home espresso machine. I recently got a V60 to make pour overs for my partner who likes gentle flavors and I’m doing OK with it, but it does tax my vision 20/200 in one eye.
For those not in the know, pour over is a coffee brewing technique where you pour hot water over coffee grounds on a poster filter. Think your Mr. Coffee, but manual. The V50 is basically a funnel with a flared base that you can put on top of a mug.
I just might get this brewer… Sometimes I’m not confident I can make a V60 without making a mess, but this looks so very convenient.
How do you fine folks make coffee? Do you feel limited by accessibility issues or do you have the perfect technique figured out?
One cup at a time usually doesn’t do it for me. I will typically make a 1.5L French press in the morning (for about 3 mugs worth). One gets drunk immediately and the other two go in a vacuum flask for later in the day.
Totally understandable. The French press can be a pretty accessible brewer too. If I want a second coffee, I like to take another break to make it. I’m very process oriented though.
I do like a fancier coffee from time to time.
Are you bringing the vacuum flask with you throughout the day? Otherwise, it’s always possible to brew multiple times.
Yeah, I bring it to work with me.
