What's your favorite drip brewer? (piefed.social)

I would like some recommendations for a single serve brewer, preferably one that uses ground coffee and not pods. I had a hamilton beach 'the scoop' model at one point that I liked pretty well, but I'm open to other options if there are better one's out there.

I'm currently using a aeropress, but I would like an additional brewer for convenience purposes.

Can you expand on goals? Aeropress can be a bit fussy imo for daily brewing. Are you looking for something than can be set with a timer for maximum time saving in the am? If not, any reason not to do a v60 pour over? Not too time consuming and makes a beautiful single cup. Easy cleanup and will beat any drip brewer. If you really want a drip brewer I'd go for the best - get a moccamaster if you can. There is a single cup version, but the regular size one makes a decent large single cup and it's nice to have the capacity to brew big for guests. With a smart outlet you have a good timer option too.

Umm... The moccamaster brews a wildly different cup from the V60 (unless you brew the V60 in a very particular and arguably just a wrong way).

If you really think it adds convenience but want a similar taste profile to the V60 there are other electric pour overs that match it closer.

Less fussy than the aeropress would be good. I often drink two cups of coffee, so making it in the aeropress is kind of a chore for that. Automatic would probably be preferable, but not a complete deal breaker if it's not. Same for the timer, it would be a nice feature but I could live without it. I'm considering a v60 switch; I think it would be a little easier and looks to be one of the cheaper quality options as well.

The moccamaster looks incredible, but I don't think I can justify it (even a used one).

I was also looking at a electric moka pots, but I don't really have a good grinder at the moment and the only completely stainless steel model I was seeing is a german model which is a bit out of range as well.

I doubt you'd have any regrets about the switch. It's the most versatile v60. Go for the 03 if you want to brew two cups a once.
