You are right about these things being overpriced. I use the Hario not only for its simplicity, but it's the best and least expensive way to brew coffee at home. I have converted many people from "pods" and gentle nudged them in the direction of the V60. I am actually thinking about selling these at the farmers market because of how much demand I have had for them.

<p>Honestly, I dont understand the overpriced pour over trend...its absurd. You can literally make them out of anything, and you actually dont need them at all. If you use V60s and Range servers, then all you need is a couple of scales. Im going to be a thief of good design and make something similar to the acrylic station sold on vissions. It looks amazing, and it can also be done under or about 20$ if you have the tools to cut it correctly.</p>

<p>I found the best solution for myself is to have a very slim and clean pour over station, with v60s, range servers, and scales under each server. Then if youre at home or even in a cafe far away from drainage, you can install a small 4x4 or whatever size drain, that drip through a tube into a trashcan or tub. Its super easy to make and cost next to nothing, about 8$ for the drainage. And it looks super nice, and works well.</p> I would say accommodated for…tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2011-04-21:1688216:Comment:11019712011-04-21T22:51:17.339ZEdward Chavezhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/EdwardChavez
I would say accommodated for what you need. Such as putting a drip trey also the hight of you decanters. Mine stands about 7 1/2'' high. as for the heat loss. i would say any time you have your coffee maker suspended above your decanter there will be some added heat loss. so its important to preheat everything.

Thank you to all who put their ideas on this posting. It made me go out to Home Depot and build my own. However, is 9" to high for the legs? I was looking at it and it looks a bit high for the coffee to pour and I was concerned that the coffee would get too cold. Feedback?

If you used a 1/4" copper <a href="http://www.copper-tube.net/productdetail/77624/copper-platedmalesteelflange.htm" target="_blank">flange</a>, you could attach this to a piece of wood fairly easily. This would also allow you to dissassemble the unit quickly and break it down for transport. I built most of the surfaces in my lab from pipes and flanges from the hardware store.

<p>I got an idea!</p>
<p>You could pour a slab of concrete that fits under the bar, after you pour it just make an indent as deep as you want. Then all you need is the metal grate. I've seen metal mesh at hardware stores but not sure if it's stainless. Then you'd just need to seal or lacquer the slab. Not sure, but I'd imagine it would be a lot cheaper than those stainless steel trays, plus custom sized. Or use legos.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Edward Chavez said:…</cite></p>
