Yep. I love other methods too but aeropress seems to be the easiest method to get a consistently good cup of coffee. It’s not the best but that’s not what you’re looking for everyday.
I’ve tried multiple different recipes for pour overs and they always come out too acidic or “off”. I can’t seem to get it to brew long enough while pouring the water, it seems too delicate and easy to screw up. It’s pretty hard to screw up an Aeropress brew.
I disagree, the Aeropress makes a nice puck of coffee which can easily be ejected out. The only thing you have to clean off is the oil (if you want, I never use soap and water, just water to give it a quick rinse). With a v60 the coffee grounds can get stuck in the mesh if you’re not using a paper filter, and if you are, it’s about the same cleanup, just wash off the oils and let it dry.
aeropress with normal paper filter, pick up the grounds and dispose, only the cone to wash, done. aeropress pop the grounds, scoop remainders on the plunger, wash the 3 pieces. no argument on the ease of brewing though, aeropress gets you 90% of the way there with almost no skill required
Yeah, aeropress really is the easiest to make, clean and maintain.
I have had mine and use it all the time for about 15 years now. Still works great. I just rinse the stuff off and leave it in the dish dry rack.

I even bought one for my parents house when I stay there and visit.

I just bang it out on the trash can after I eject the puck.
I find it harder to make good coffee. It can definitely make great coffee but you need technique.
Agreed, I don’t think I’ve ever made a good cup using a v60 and multiple different recipes that was comparable to a cup I made with the Aeropress.
That’s why I have my coffee shop to which I go for coffee.
I like to have my coffee when I wake up, in my own house, and not pay 3x the price for it 😉
