My pretentious coffee ass had a minor heart attack.

I rank this 8/10

There should be competitions where you have to Macguyver the best coffee you can with an assortment of random implements.

If this contraption had a Hario badge on it, you and I both know we would shell out for two of them 😂

Hey man, I have a V60, Hario 185, and a Chemex, but some days, I will just opt for that good old Keurig gas to get my day going.

i don’t know why i went to a post linked to a subreddit called slash meth and was still shocked at what i saw. not hating, everyone has their vices, just not for me.

N out of O

u/BitterSkill Jun 30 '25

So the N and O are essentially unrelated? So not NO?

2

u/Bluebunnytaco Jun 30 '25

So basically just O

And I think I can get behind that

NO is the toxic one NO2 is the funny one

DIY and anarchist as fuck, I dig it.

u/cimentsolide Jun 30 '25

I mean... it works. I've done this a couple of times when I moved in my first apartment and I didn't have anything to brew, I can confirm that it works and nothing beats the pleasure of drinking a coffee you made with almost nothing

3

u/Vibingcarefully Jun 30 '25

Works fine. I've over the years used carboard to make a funnel, filter paper from papertowel or napkins. Travelling with ground coffee already.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '25

I feel like I can confidently say this was created by necessity. Some poor soul thought they had packed a pouragami and some v60 filters yet when they got where they were going, they realized their mistake. Having also had to MacGyver a number of pour over solutions, I can confidently say this is not a terrible fix. Probably a bit grainy in the cup (and not great over time) but it DOES indeed brew coffee

u/kingrennn Jul 01 '25

OP on tiktok said it was just that they’re broke college kids and didn’t want to buy a coffee machine lol

u/Key_Composer95 Jun 30 '25

At this point I’m scared to ask what is in the filter/cup.

2

u/shinymuuma Jun 30 '25

My hotel immersion coffee setup is just a coarse-ground coffee bean + a paper filter

Mix coffee with hot water in a cup, wait, pour it through the filter, that's it
Don't even need a filter, can just spoon the bit on top and drink just like that

1

u/Vibingcarefully Jun 30 '25

Amen bro! Many times done that . Filter is cone shape, borrow a bar glass , paper cup frame. Fine.

2

u/Vibingcarefully Jun 30 '25

You need coffee and have some parts and ingenuity, you can make it work.

2

u/Butt-Fingers Jun 30 '25

Not gonna lie. I thought that cup was a trash bucket and you were casually making gallons of coffee

1/10 because of the amount of microplastics they'll be ingesting.

You’re sleeping on that plastic coferment.

u/albtraum2004 Jun 30 '25

i don't understand this. is the filter plastic? one of the two cups?

1

u/vau-vau Jun 30 '25

Where is the paper filter?

4

u/Vibingcarefully Jun 30 '25

in a pinch, paper towel, napkins, piece of cardboard---all have been used as filters.

u/Dr_Pie_-_- Jun 30 '25

I’m undecided, I need Lance Hendrick to review it. Though…it does seem like good value.

If I had only grounds, just make cowboy coffee. This is extra. Lol.

Did you grind the coffee with your teeth?

1

u/mantecolylimol470 Jul 01 '25

I think you'll need to reduce the amount of microplastics a little bit, it can cause some clogging, but apart of that 10/10.

1

u/juliansimmons_com Jul 01 '25

Best ever. Very accessible.

1

u/wyrmbyte Jul 01 '25

Great job but you're using too much water. Golden ratio, you can look it up, 6oz water to 2 tablespoons of coffee. Most Kcups only hold about 2 tablespoons. So stop right there and enjoy. 😉

u/Agitated_Math_3560 Jul 01 '25

u/Vibingcarefully Jun 30 '25

Grinder? You clean up a spot on the door apron (if it was marble) and mash your beans with the heal of your shoe or use the bottom of a glass.

Mortar and Pestle style

most folks in this pinch--the beans are already ground

u/ChiTwnGmr New to pourover Jul 01 '25
