Many mistake the Chemex as a home accessory, and it is used as a vase more often than you might imagine. The Chemex has been around for quite a while and is so popular that it has even made guest appearances on many popular TV shows. Much like the V60, this pour-over method requires filter paper and coffee grounds (a scale and a gooseneck kettle too, if you want to fully be in control).

The Aeropress has amassed somewhat of a cult following especially amongst campers and backpackers. Although it looks more like a balloon pump than a coffee brewer, this little device does pack quite a punch. Depending on your grind size and water temperature, you’ll get different results from your brew but the general taste profile to expect is smooth, rich and “pure” tasting. Not to mention it only takes one minute to go from bean to brew.

But the endless oohs and aahs of your guests will definitely make the investment well-worth it.

It can also double as milk frother for those who are able to unlock this “special feature”. If you’re looking to reduce paper-waste, then the French press is perfect for you.
