Reddit reviews Hario V60 Pour Over Starter Set with Dripper, Glass Server Scoop and Filters, Size 02, Red

This is not exactly an answer to your question, but still might help. For brews under 600mL, instead of the stock dripper/carafe with the basket filter, I usually place a Hario v60 pourover dripper and decanter under the bv1900. It fits like it belongs there! Sometimes I also use a 3-cup Chemex, though that needs to be boosted by a small book or some other object underneath so as to catch the all the water from the shower head.

You can get the v60 and carafe for only $30 though... it seems like a steal now that I realize how much I spent on my gear over the years. http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Coffee-Dripper-Server-700ml/dp/B002BA2J06/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1367430786&sr=8-12&keywords=hario (I'm not sure about the rules on posting links to Amazon but I'm not getting referral credit or anything) :)

I would do something like this: Hario V60 Pour Over Coffee Starter Kit, Size 02, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BA2J06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KlbxCb4SESFY9

I get fresh grounds from a farmers market. It took about a year after I stopped using a keurig to figure out what coffee I like best. For me a medium roast is my favorite. I prefer columbian. but that took time to figure out. Be patient with yourself as you do it! And don’t be afraid to youtube how to make coffee 😂

Keep in mind that your Keurig will not last you forever. Once it breaks, you have this whole machine to deal with.

I've used a french press before, but didn't care for the "sediment" from the bean dust that invariably makes it through the screen. Even if it's evenly milled, it still upsets my stomach.

I use a ceramic pour over cone. There are reusable filters available, but I just get the paper ones and toss them into the compost bin (sometimes after making a second brew to pour directly on my plants).

Plastic v60 set filters

Total price $66.81

Edit: Should also get a grinder, forgot about that hario skerton and could replace v60 set with just a v60

Edit2: As u/17291 mentioned a scale is a good idea too.

Assuming you're american? Not sure where a good place to get fresh beans is though as I'm from the UK.

Have you considered switching the the pour over world? If so I would start looking at the v60 or the clever, I think they make a much better cup of coffee than french press.

Pour over all the way. I've used the $15 Hario for two years now, it still looks like I bought it yesterday. Used 48 g of coffee to 700 g of hot boiling water and you got yourself a pot of great pour over coffee with no frills. I have mine with a dash of heavy cream and if I'm feeling fancy I'll blend it with a pat of butter and cocoa powder (Keto bullet proof coffee). I find the fat helps my body absorb the caffeine and keeps me full all morning until lunch since I can't eat breakfast without feeling nauseous!

Fellow student here. While an aeropress is easy to use and clean you should keep in mind that it's max. capacity is around 240ml. I usually make a mug (ca. 300ml) or a whole pot (650ml) at a time.
There is a hario set for 15$ that includes 100 filters. If you live in a town with a good roaster where you can get freshly roasted beans you can make them grind it if you buy small amounts and then later upgrade to a grinder.
I regret buying a manual Hario Skerton and went with a Graef CM80. Do some research and buy whatever respected burr grinder fits your budget.
You will also need some scales and a gooseneck kettle would be nice, too.
