If I am not traveling, just drinking at home or my office then under $25 for single origin Typica or Yellow Bourbon light roast beans.
If I am traveling then I might splash out $100 for four bags of beans.

Really shows how brainwashed women on the religious right and racist right are.
If I’m making New Orleans style Cafe au lait then sure. If I am trying to make some bad beans more drinkable then sure. But if I have some really good single origin light roast beans that are excellent on their own then no way.
Not available in Vietnam or I would be all over it.
How can it be anyone other than the astronaut?
Since I live in Vietnam these are not exactly less common here but would be back in the States:

I went with the Clever since I didn’t have a V60 so no compatible filters at the time but I had lots of the generic (and much cheaper) Melita style filters. Work flow wise, they would be identical.
Be aware that this “nice insulated glass” has two problems: 1. Breaks a whole lot easier than the plastic Clever; and 2. Sucks up a lot of heat that would be better going into the brewing process.
The Clever may be easier to disassemble for cleaning than the Switch but I am not sure.
Team Clever for the win!
Clever Dripper, a scale, a kettle, and a Knock Feldgrind 2 (I’ve had this grinder for years) but any of the reasonably priced decent grinders from Kingrind, Timemore, or 1zpresso would be fine.
I have tried a few different options for brewing at the office:
French Press: Pros - few user inputs and reasonably good/consistent cups of coffee. Cons - major pain to clean up and I don’t like the fines and micro grounds in the bottom of the cup.
Moka Pot (with a hot plate): Pros: not too many user inputs and fairly easy clean up. Cons - too hard to consistently get a good cup of coffee.
Regular pour over (Melita and V60): Pros -easy clean up and fairly easy to get repeatable good cups of coffee. Cons - too many user inputs. Must take time to get the pours right.
The winner: Clever Dripper! The lowest user inputs, easy clean up, clean cup of coffee with no fines or micro grounds in cup, very repeatable and consistent good cups of coffee.

$50 seems a little steep for what you get but it is unique and has no direct alternatives. The lack of needing other gear to work with it is nice.
Very cool. I wonder what the roast level is?
It seems popular. I am set for coffee gear at this time. Very happy with the V60 02 and the Clever Dripper.
There are some great hand grinders available now compared to a decade ago. To get a remotely acceptable electric grinder you would need to spend around $150 or so for something like the Baratza Encore. For that same money you can get a really good hand grinder from 1zpresso or Kingrind which will produce more consistent grinds and fairly quickly.
try lower water temp and/or a more coarse grind.
I just opened a bag of washed light roast Arabica Typica from Dalat, Veitnam. Used a V60 to brew it and a Fellow Opus to grind it.
Quite nice. Floral and fruity not bitterness or excess sourness. Very happy considering the relatively low cost.
HiFi folks and coffee folks have active forums outside of reddit and discord.
In a different article, a report spoke to 8 black people in attendance. Of the 8 only 1 lived in the Detroit area and none were members of that church.
I’ve tried it and it was ok but I would not have it again.
