I like the Aeropress, but my favourite coffee production method is the Kalita Wave.
Again, it's beautifully designed - almost impossible to damage, very simple to use, comparatively quick (about a minute longer than an Aeropress for one or two large mugs of coffee), arguably even easier to clean than the Aeropress (invert over bin. Done.). The pouring jug's great, too: tough, well labeled, fits perfectly, easy to store.
- evandev 10y agoEven better than that in my opinion is the snowpeak collapsible pour over [0]. It's metal, sturdy and packable. I bring it in my carry on on all trips I go on plus backpacking. Pair with a hand grinder and you're set. 0: https://snowpeak.com/collections/gifts-under-100-dollars/products/collapsible_pour_over-cs-113?variant=671115025 https://snowpeak.com/collections/gifts-under-100-dollars/pro...

- derrickdirge 10y agoAlong the same lines, my Chemex is one of my favorite objects. I love the simplicity of the design and the brewing process. I love the consistently tasty brew. I love the way it looks on my kitchen counter. I love the purity of materials. Admittedly, the 'purity of materials' argument is probably just superstition on my part. I'm not sure if there are measurable benefits to an all-glass brewing receptacle, but it sure makes me feel good. Glass, wood, and leather are materials that I can easily wrap my head around, and somehow that brings extra peace of mind to my whole coffee ritual.
- sotojuan 10y agoI actually find the Chemex as simple as the Aeropress. It has replaced it for my morning coffee.
