The popular V-shaped conical dripper with a 60° angle known as the V60 is probably the most loved dripper out there. It's my go-to brewer. The V60 is a great alternative to the AeroPress for home brewing if you’re looking for a much cleaner cup of coffee. The V60 will create a lighter bodied coffee, allowing delicate notes and flavours to come through. It’s my favourite way to start the day. I use a scale whenever I brew to insure I get the most out of the amazing coffees I have the opportunity to try.
