Hario V60

Very reliable coffee extraction, amazing aesthetic, obviously an engineering marvel, almost idiot proof (see below)

I may have paid a bit much for it, as I look at prices, but this is not a bad point, maybe. Just shop around. Hario as of early Jan '10 has its own site hariousa.com which is quite reasonable ; I think that the Sweet Maria's vpot is about as good,...

Simple. Distinct lines. Stylish. Great feel to it. Exceptionally clean, full-bodied cup of coffee when I am sipping alone (12 oz capacity). Fits every coffee cup in my cupboard. Breeze to clean up

Unable to see fluid level due to base on which the unit rests over the cup (NB: My Bee House porcelain has open areas in base to view rising fluid)
