          Aeropress and v60 both rock. I do v60 at home and ap at work. Actually not sure if my rig is a v60 but similar.

          They are different but each worthwhile.

          Think it, be it.

                  ^who is the grinder by, looks so sweet!

                  hey, sry for the late reply…the grinder is nothin special, 25bucks from eBay. the brand is called "Haushalt International" ...really nothing special ^^

                  Should check out if it's a Ceramic Conical Burr Grinder. The different in grinder types/styles is;
                  a)ceramic - it keeps cool and doesn't cause friction/burn the beans
                  b)conical - helps with consistent partical sizing
                  c)burr - these crush the beans and help open the coffee bean up. Blade grinders slice the bean.

                  I hope this is helpful, it does make a taste difference, and I also kind of both love and hate I know this much about coffee :|

                    V60 should be as easy to clean up? Just throw the filter paper in the bin and you're done.

                    I Aeropress in the office, V60 @ home.

                    V60 I make 2.5 FULL sized cups that I drink over a few hours, vs 1 regular size in the Aeropress.

                      Urbs, this is how I brew my v60, it's a little more advanced in technique but it's the best method I've tasted, from the '12 world champion;

                        Neither are difficult to clean up or make, but if you have to clean the v60 and the ranger server each time(which I will because I'm a neat freak) it's a little bit more of a hassle. The Aeropress just gets popped in the trash and a quick clean of the rubber. Also, it's done directly into the mug.

                        Anyways, my point was more about the time it takes for each method. I know you're super zen about the whole process but sometimes I need a quick cup.

                            Ah, Yeah I didn't see the range server in the photo. Totally agree, little more cleaning over all.

                            In terms of timing, I clean the range server after the 2nd cup, not at the time of pouring the first (mind you if I was making for 2 people, I'd be different).

                            Riddle me this, is the time/effort involved in making 2 cups of Aeropress greater than or less than 2 cups with a V60? I'd say overall it's about the same. V60 makes 2 cups @ once, Aeropress you have to repeat the same routine twice….

                                    Rafa, if you have any issues finding a satisfactory mug PM me and I'll ship you one of those Dogwood mugs I posted in the coffee thread.

                                      Love my burr grinder. Here's it set to 15 for a pourover. Great uniformity.

                                          My grinder's burrs are not ceramic, it's Swiss-made stainless steel. Ceramic is optimal, but to hit a ~$100 price point that was the compromise.

                                          Think it, be it.

                                            all i read is "swiss-made", so it should be perfect 😉 … 😛

                                            that kettle is super nice. too bad i wasn't able to get it...gonna buy a different one now with a bigger spout. should do the trick as well i think! pouring it isn't as classy though as with the one above...

                                            and thanks for the offer McKleine...gonna search around a bit more and then we'll see!
