A classic pour over cone really just has to be rinsed hot after using if you're using it every day, soap and sponge if an oily coffee leaves a residue over time. A metal or plastic v60 has no risk of breaking while rinsing too

It drains quickly if you grind typically, so you do have to stand over it for 2-3 minutes while you pour, though you have some breaks in there, so it's easy to make toast or something at the same time.

Some flavors typical of drip will be weaker, like heavier and smoky or chicolatey notes, while others will be much stronger and richer, like caramel, fruit, tea, and what people call juiciness. The biggest draw, though, is the ability to customize every single part of the process, so you can find ways to recreate what you like from drip (be it by grinding finer, using less or hotter water, pouring quickly/slowly, etc.) and bring out notes that might get muted by a drip machine. That said, the added lighter notes with pour over definitely make most sense for black coffee or with just a dash of sugar, so if you like milk/creamer, drip might make more sense to stick with (no judgment, that's why I have multiple options myself :)

"Sounds like a skill issue"

The small holes are probably more forgiving of grinding than pouring, so if you're getting good results, I'd feel confident in your pouring with a different cone. People make a big deal about pouring technique, but as long as you're relatively consistent and not entirely careless, a v60 is not the finicky monster it's made out to be haha.

Hope the stir is great for ya, and happy pouring!

Totally fine. The 3 small holes rather than 1 large one (like on a v60) can make them draw down/drain a little slower, but they are still super functional.

Only advice would be that the flat sides can make it harder to swirl your slurry during the bloom, which a lot of recipes call for. So I'd just look for recipes that use pouring alone (or maybe a little stir) to agitate the grounds, like Matt Winton's 5-pour recipe/video.

In (Madrid, at least) Spain, it's a sorta huge deal in schools, with every kid under 14-15 dressing up, a lot of schools doing costume parades, and many classes giving out candy and watching movies. But outside of school, it's all but ignored. You'll see little kids in costumes and a few bar events, but no trick or treating and no decorations.

The much bigger day/event is carnival, for which kids wear costumes again and there's a big parade in most cities.

Yeah, talking about the much more common types you see people using more often in cities. Also why I didn't say 25% faster than the highest end ones

25% faster than a quick electric scooter

A big part of that decision is honestly that we live in a very old house, and a few times we have needed to buy new appliances or pay $10k+ in a ≤24hr. emergency, so we try to keep roughly that amount as liquid as possible. Since that's earning zero and the MMF is nearly as liquid as savings, we just keep all the rest in the higher-interest options, and none at all in a traditional savings account. It's just been the most convenient and highest yield, lowest risk, most easily liquidated option, with the ease of liquidity cutting minimally into returns while MMF rates are so high.

I personally keep like 4 weeks cash in a checking account, some traditionally invested that I don't plan to touch for many years, and everything else (12+ months at this point) in an investment account at the same bank as my checking, but exclusively invested in a money market fund with same day liquidity. MMFs are earning around 4+% while fed interest rates are so high, and being able to sell and transfer to my checking in a single day feels like it's basically liquid already.

Since that's the case, I don't want any more than necessary sitting in an account earning 1% or less, just doesn't feel like that much of a difference between investments that can be liquid in 2 hours vs. savings, but my bank is great about quick investment selling and transferring.
