My daily driver Coffee Setup - March 2024 Edition

Since I've been asked a few times and also wanted to document changes to my setup over time, I thought I'd write a small post about how I currently make most of the coffee that I consume.
So here we go, enjoy:

I've recently upgraded my V60¹ to a Hario Drip Decanter because - let's face it - one cup just isn't enough. While it's basically the same workflow as a "normal" V60, it looks fancier, gets the coffee to a drinkable temperature quicker and I have a spare V60 to take and leave places now. I use the white Hario filter papers² with it.
As a grinder my Comandante C40 is seeing some action again. But the Fellow Ode 2 is also still residing on my coffee bar.
For a kettle I've retired my Fellow Corvo to the hackspace and am currently heating and pouring the water from a Hario Buono Pro³.
I've also been experimenting a lot with water chemistry over the last few months. Going into detail would go beyond the scope of the post, but it was a huge boost to the quality of my coffee. I'll point you in the direction of James Hoffman and Barista Hustle if you want more information on the topic.
This months coffee rotation includes: MvsM - Burtukaana, Flying Roaster - Pezcadito, Flying Roaster - Funky, Flying Roaster - Sunbird⁴

1. The plastic version, because I don't need to preheat it, it's durable and cheap :3↩︎
2. I know there are multiple versions, but I did not have a chance to thoroughly compare them yet. Though I did not have any problems with any of them.↩︎
3. I've actually used just a regular run-of-the-mill kettle while waiting for the Hario to arrive and it was fine. Please don't feel the need to spend 160€ on a kettle. Is it a nicer experience? Do you get more control and consistency? Yes. Is it worth 160€? Probably not. Spend the money on better coffee or a grinder first. Pay yourself to get familiar with how water affects coffee. All of these have a bigger impact on the quality of your coffee than the kettle. The V60 Drip-Assist might also be worth a try before spending 160€ on a kettle. (I did not have a chance to try the drip assist yet, so not an endorsement).↩︎
4. So far I was unable to produce coffee to my liking with it. It's either chalky as hell or just boringly plain and watery. Happy for pointers.↩︎
