# Brew guides

## AeroPress

The brewer that forgives you.

Two minutes, one paper filter, and a cup that survives being got slightly wrong.

## Pour-over

Where the coffee has nowhere to hide.

A cone, a paper, three minutes of your attention, and the clearest cup you can make at home.

## Plunger

The brewer everybody apologises for.

Nine minutes, no skill, four cups at once. Two steps stop it being muddy.

## Grind size

The dial that fixes almost everything.

One setting decides whether your coffee is sour, bitter or right. Here is which way to turn it.

Gear picked by hand, and every shop listed is one this site already tracks. Nothing here is sponsored and no link pays us. Prices re-checked against each shop's own catalogue nightly; last check 23 Aug 2026.

## About this data

Prices, weights and stock are the roasters' own, read from their public shop pages and re-checked every night. We do not set them, mark them up, or estimate them: a figure we could not read is null. Free to quote with attribution and a link.

One scrape a night at 15:40 UTC (about 03:40 in New Zealand), then the whole site and every endpoint is rebuilt.

Links to shops go through /go/ so we can count how many readers we send each roaster. We earn nothing from them — no affiliate deals, no commission, no paid placement — and if that ever changes this line changes with it.
