Been eyeing up a V60 setup for some time and finally treated myself this week as a little pick-me-up retail therapy!
Picked up a size 1 Hario ceramic dripper, matching glass serving jug and a bunch of brown filter papers for the princely sum of ~£40 delivered!
It beats the plastic funnel and cloth bag I was using and ended up knocking over, and the coffee tha comes out of it is clear, super tasty, not bitter in the slightest. It is a bit of a faff - takes a few minutes of slowly pouring the water on the ground coffee, but it's worth it! I may even invest in one of the swan neck kettles at some point, it really is very nice to take a moment or two, the making becomes part of the enjoyment.
Overall - highly recommended if you appreciate the subtleties of flavour potential in coffee

You definitely need to get a gooseneck kettle. Essential tool for good pour overs. That plus the V60 and a burr grinder is all you need!
Edit: also get a good scale if you don’t have one already.

Oh thanks, yeah I think you are right I have read loads of people saying the same - one day for sure
The kettle I have is actually pretty good in this regard, I did consider it, but until I start getting work/paid again it seemed a step to far for a little indulgent treat purchase.
Oh and I already have a good burr grinder, from many moons ago - awesome thing - La Pavoni!

For the longest time, I was very picky about how I brewed my coffee. In 2009 I was working in Calgary, and they had a Keurig system, and there seemed to be a near unlimited choice of pods. Light, dark, flavoured; there must have been two dozen choices. The oil company treated its works right. There were fridges full of soda pop, fridges of juices, water, they had everything.
It is actually a good strategy. Fewer people went out for coffee. Many of us IT folk, drink coffee all day. We often also drink, Coke, Sprite and Mountain Dew; it's a caffeine lifestyle.
I still drink coffee today, but I now drink more tea than coffee.

Just finished a bag of that a few weeks ago...excellent!
Love their coffee and usually gravitate to their "Kick Ass" selection. Sometimes I blend a few different ones together.
Just below you in WA state...Americans enjoy this brand, also.

Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
It’s not as fancy as some of the setups here, but it gets the trick done for me! When I had a drip pot I made about 1 cup of coffee a week and bought the rest; since getting my AeroPress a year ago I haven’t had more than a handful of cups not from my press.
