If you’re just branching out into the world of specialty coffee or you simply feel like spending as little money as possible (me too!), the V60 is a great option. It’s beyond easy to use and you’ll be mastering its simplicity in no time. I adore how you can make an entire coffee (cleanup included) in under 2 minutes with this handy little product. While I appreciate the brighter flavor of an AeroPress a little more, for just $10, you can’t go wrong with a V60.
For
- Budget-friendly
- Foolproof use
- Compostable filters
- Compact and easy to clean
Against
- Not the most sophisticated flavor
If you’re just getting started with either pour-over or luxury coffee makers, I recommend the Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker wholeheartedly. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to enjoy. You do have to buy pretty expensive filters to get the best out of it, but if you’re serious about making the most of your pour-over, it’s a worthwhile investment. For the coffee lovers out there — yes, the Chemex is worth the hype.
For
- Beautiful glass construction
- Premium wood collar and rawhide accessories
- Super easy to use
- Easy to maintain
- Delicious coffee every time
Against
- Pricey (for a pour-over)
