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've been inclining to try Hoop for so long, and this video gave me the nudge. I bought it a few weeks ago and used it constantly. As advertised, Hoop is very easy to use, and I can brew until 300mL of coffee in one go. Fortunately nobody at home is as addicted to coffee as me, so I don't have to share. One caveat to Hoop is grind size, if I go finer it will reduce draw time, too coarse will makes the coffee empty. So finding the right size is the key. So far this is the easiest brewer I've used. Clever dripper is second, Hario switch is third. Others (Kalita, v60s, AeroPress, etc) come next.
