Looking to reduce my caffeine intake and the first sensible step seems to be cutting the half litre Chemex brew in the morning to something more sensible. Looking at the V60s I'm finding it hard to see why there's even a choice when the plastic variant seems to tick all the boxes (aside from aesthetics really, I do like the look of the ceramic one). Am I missing something or are any of the other variants actually worth the bump in price? Ceramic & glass have obvious durability issues compared to plastic, likewise with metal and thermal loss.
I say ceramic/glass have obvious durability issues, though I've been brewing with a Chemex or siphon everyday since lockdown with no damage done, yet. But I'm guessing the only advantage they provide over the plastic variant is aesthetic?
