Ceado’s Hoop brewer warrants being talked about, as it’s exciting to see a new design created to bring more and more people into making great coffee. In this...

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?

    At home I typically alternate between a V60, a French press, and an Aeropress. Since getting more into pourovers, the Aeropress has mostly been used for iced coffees in the summer.

    That being said, I’m currently working as a barista full-time so I don’t drink any coffee at home. My espresso consumption at work is already entirely unreasonable.
