V60 Dripper, 02
A plastic cone that matches machines costing sixty times more.
The best twelve hundred rupees in coffee and probably the best value object on this site. Buy the plastic one. It brews identically to the ceramic, holds temperature better than glass, costs a fraction, and survives being knocked against a tap. Cafes use plastic behind the counter for exactly these reasons, and the ceramic version is mostly there to look correct on a shelf.
Anyone willing to spend two weeks learning a pour before judging the result.
You want coffee without a technique. This rewards attention and punishes a rushed morning. A good immersion brewer is the kinder choice.
The pour over dripper every competitor now copies. A sixty degree cone, a single large hole, and spiral ribs that keep the paper off the wall so the bed can drain.
- Results that hold up against equipment costing sixty times as much
- Plastic holds brew temperature better than glass or ceramic
- Filters are available in every city and cost almost nothing
- Unforgiving. Grind and pour rate both show up in the cup
- Needs a gooseneck kettle to be worth the trouble
