I've been using an Aeropress for a while now but I'm getting kinda bored/annoyed by it (can't use it on oddly shaped mugs), I don't have room on my counter for a big drip/espresso machine though, so the option of "just throw it in a cabinet when it's in the way" is really nice. What other obnoxious coffee devices are there that have a similar utility? I stopped using a chemex because they kept breaking (see the space problem)

You can greatly expand the types of mug an aeropress can brew into by using the funnel--it's sized to fit on the base flange and allows for both smaller and larger cups.

re: devices:

  • V60: like a chemex, but better--comes in plastic, isn't stupidly fiddly due to air flow problems, and is much more compact
  • Khalita wave: also a pourover, but it's got like, a rectangular opening at the bottom? I've never used one but people like them?
  • clever dripper: a french press/pourover hybrid. You steep in the cone, then put it over a mug to drip it out. They look fun but also one I've never used
  • french presses come in stainless steel (I uhhh need one--I think I've killed 3 glass ones now)

I'll have to check those out! Thanks :)

I'll have to give the funnel on different mugs a shot... I've mostly used it to not get grounds everywhere when I'm trying to get them into the chamber(?)...

That's it's other purpose, yeah! Funnels Good 😌 I also use mine when my toddler wants to help measure the beans into the hopper--3 yo coordination means a funnel is a godsend (some mornings I should probably be using it for this too...)

this isn’t that obnoxious but i have a little purple french press (it’s the smallest bodum caffettiera, which i am unsure if they still make), it’s small and cute and it goes in the dishwasher, plus it’s not glass so i haven’t broken it despite myself.
