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?
I would love to hear a comparison of this to the Orea Z1. The Z1 is massively overpriced but it also doesn’t require a gooseneck and brews a really nice cup but is small and wonderful for travel. The 250ml limit seems a bit restrictive on this. I remember hearing many complaints about stalls on the Hoop, but perhaps Scott’s filters really do solve that issue?
