This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I'm not surprised, a V60 and a good pouring kettle is absolutely the best method in terms of balancing quick brew, ease of use/maintenance/minimal cleaning and good tasting coffee.
Plus it's super cheap, the only really pricey thing you'd need to invest in is a grinder (or just buy high quality pre ground coffee in small batches).
Aeropress, and skip the posh kettle. It can give you consistently solid results with fairly minimal cleaning.
You also get a satisfying thwak when you push the ground out of the piston, which I'm surprised they haven't used in since marketing video tbh.
I use an ode portafilter and metal mesh instead of paper on mine, but some people think the extra solids are too much.
Team Aeropress reporting in.
I think it was originally built for camping but I got it for when I travel to remote places without a good coffee shop nearby.
It's like a cleaner version of a coffee press. Very satisfying to pop out the puck of grounds.
