Our roster does test roast, good quality beans used to test the process. Light, tasty, and cheap.

I do not need to get further from that.

The only expensive thing you need is a good grinder. Rest goes with a 26€ V60 and a kitchen scale.

> 26€ V60

Whoa, are they going for 26 euros in Europe? That's around 10x as expensive as they're sold in Japan. Or are you referring to the glass/ceramic ones?

Including decanter. The glass drippers are around 20 euros and plastic ones 9 euros.

But I really find it to be the best for daily quality coffee. Filters are easy to find, their products are durable and easy to clean.

Except their thermo pot. Not worth the money.

But they can be overpriced in Europe. Their electric water heater is around 190-200 euros if you can find one.

Agreed! I use mine twice daily and love the coffee I make with it, and how easy it is to clean.
