As brewing methods go, it’s not that complex but still not the kind of thing you can do (let’s say) at the office before work.
Yeah, no. Never heard of a “Chemex”? If you can boil water, you can make Chemex coffee, FFS. It’s no more difficult than making a pot of drip coffee. Often enough, I’ve used a smaller Chemex under the hot water feed of a standard drip coffee machine with the basket removed; works dandy.
Of note, a Chemex doesn’t involve multiple sealed, thoroughly disposable packages. The filters aren’t exactly cheap but they’re not all that expensive, either, so whatever; it’s still WAY cheaper than this silly mess and much less of a hit on the environment. There’s no need to out-Keurig Keurig -.-’ .

This is fucked up in so many ways, but possibly I do want lavender-scented coffee…?
I have! But the weird wood-and-leather holder thing is cumbersome and dumb, so I crocheted a 1950s sweater-inspired insulating holder for mine:

I am lazy. I got an automated version–one that also uses all glass for tubes, water tanks, etc. instead of plastic.
Totally worth it. Although I had to buy a different filter.
Even simpler, make the coffee directly into your cup with a $5.00 plastic Melitta cone. Minimal cleanup and waste.
Or for the 1%ers out there, one of the many ceramic variations.

Pour this over ice & presto! You have French coffee, like you see in all the Vietnamese noodle houses.

That’s exactly what I use. Been using ones like that for decades. And I don’t buy the fancy cone-shaped filters. Basket-stye filters, about $.01 apiece (plus tax) work fine—just fold one in fourths and turn up the point about an inch, and you have a cone-shaped filter that fits. Clearly I’m not in Boing Boing’s target demographic.
