@cfliger: The Coava cone is a conical - not conical with a flat bottom - so it fits chemex & V60 type brewers - not the bonmac cone. I think you can get good results with different methods, some just take more technique than others. So Chemex = more technique. Bonmac cone = less.
@sweetmarias After researching awhile, it seems the chemex and bonmac have the best combination of both taste and ease of use. So I have two questions: 1, can you use the Coava Kone with the bonmac (given it's squarish shape), and 2, how do the chemex and bonmac compare to each other? Looking to buy my first pour over brewer. Thanks for all your videos!
When fly-mashing home-brew (beer) I use a side plate and pour the water on to that to prevent grain disturbance. Some sort of perforated cone could do the same for small coffe brews. I suggest you take an aluminium tealight holder and poke 60 or so holes through it with a sewing needle to get a similar effect. The big bubbles you saw I believe were holes opening in the coffee mat and would be carrying fines through to the extract or to block the paper.
You measure 350grams of water before you start pouring - that means you make a bit less than that in brewed coffee since the grounds absorb some of the water.
when your recipe is 350g water to 24g coffee, does that mean your should have 350g of liquid in your cup after you are done brewing, or does it mean that you pour only 350g water through - which will not leave you with 350g in the cup?
@Farrai01 Personally, I am not a fan of cloth filters because while they are re-usable, they can become tainted and impart bad taste. There are ways to prevent that of course; I would store my Hario vac pot cloth filter in a cup in the refrigerator after cleaning it. The idea was that keeping it wet was better than letting it dry out between each use.
Yes - there are salad oil cans or olive oil cans and gourmet stores with potential. definitely must be something else out there. The Buono is like $50 and very nice looking, but very light weight too. If Ikea made something like it, it would be $15 tops.
@sweetmarias I found a really old stainlesssteel teapot in the storeroom at home. It has a narrow spout shaped like the buono and works really well :)

Thanks for the info about stirring, Tom. I am really enjoying my bonmac ceramic and filtropa filters I ordered from SweetMarias too!

Have you experimented with the differences between cloth filters versus paper? If so, what are the trade-offs for each? Great posts!

I found myself a strange oil can from the '20s —never used— with the same design as the Hario kettle at a thrift store for $4.00 —Invaluable.
