Was making coffee and considering throwing out my K-cup coffee maker because I almost exclusively use a French press now, and got curious what other people did

hario v60
gone through just about every device over the years and nothing else gets the combo of great coffee, easy to make, easy to clean up as well as the v60 (or any other pour over really)
thoughts on the aeropress? I find it really easy for single-cup daily brewing, and the coffee puck pops out into the trash like espresso almost, so cleanup is just a rinse and then I put it through the dishwasher every so often
it was my main method for a few years but idk I just prefer the pour over. Mostly I think I just like the lack of plastic and much lower potential for disastrous mess at any point. But yeah they're both solid for a single cup
yeah you're not wrong lmao, I've had one or two disasters with the aeropress over the years.
I havent given french press a serious try since I got a burr grinder and such. my main issue with it is getting grounds in my cup which ik can be reduced a lot with technique and a better grinder. but I went down the espresso rabbit hole instead so probably wont pick up a french press unless something drastically changes
too smelly... dont trust
what lmao
😓
