You know, I'd rather roast my own beans than switch to V60/Chemex. If I switch to pour over then I'll convince myself I need a gooseneck kettle, I'll spend time working on pouring techniques, when to bloom, when to swirl. I'd rather spend that time trying roasting.
Not going to happen while I live in a flat though, also I think I've got enough time sucking hobbies already!!

For a long time I was a die-hard v60 fanboy, brewed twice a day with the Hoffman method, Svart grinder, gooseneck temperature controlled kettle, concisely timed pouring technique, the whole 9 yards. Then I switched back to aeropress one day because I'd run out of filters and now every time I make a v60 brew it tastes watery and flavourless in comparison. Haven't touched my v60 in almost a year now
Absolutely, one of the main reasons I'm set on not going back into the office is the cost of my coffee habit. Even though it's not London prices (though not far off!), I can easily spend £10/day on coffee.
Next up you'll be roasting your own beans! (think my roaster paid for itself in less than 6 months!)
