This might be a stupid idea, but is there any merit in infusion brewing, then pouring through a filter? We usually make a cafetiere but I'm missing the cleaner taste of filter. Unfortunately we only have a small v60 and massive filters at the moment - not much use when brewing for two.
I'm going to experiment either way, but was thinking of trying:
1) making the press normally, then just pouring through a filter.
2) brew like tea, leaving grinds to settle, not using the press in the cafetiere and just pouring through a filter once brewed.
If you follow the Hoffman method then I’m not sure i could tell the difference between a pour over and cafetière.
Interesting claim. I've tried both and it's not changed my previous experience that I've never had cafetiere coffee that comes near a decent pour-over.

Any other ideas?
