I like the looks of the aero press (French press is such a pain to clean), but I'm really trying to eliminate plastic. I'm about to ditch my drip for glass pour-over. have you done pour over? How does it compare?

I have not but Tio has. Maybe he could tell us how he does it.
Good point about plastic. I actually use a DeLonghi espresso machine (Italian) my son gifted me. I use Aeropress on travel or during hurricane outages. After what Tio said, I'm going to have to get a French Press.
Agree. I personally am not a huge fan of french press. After getting used to cleaner coffee brewing methods (meaning less sediment but also easier clean up) it’s hard to go back. My go to is pour over and it’s all we brew in our shop using Hario V60s. There’s a bit of a learning curve. You need a gooseneck kettle for a controlled pour. Start with a 1:16 or 1:17 ratio of coffee to water and adjust to your taste. Med fine grind and 195-205f water. No waste like you have with a whole pot, so you can buy better beans from your local roaster.

Thanks! I'll give that a try, even if it does mean buying a new kettle.
