This is the 800ml server from Hario. I make 600g water / 30-35g coffee in it every morning.
I drink my coffee slowly, and really like it hot. When I made a single 300g cup of coffee, I’d time my consumption wrong and it would be lukewarm before I finished. I didnt necessarily mind this, but now that I’ve been using this server I get hot coffee on demand, very conveniently.
I downsized my regular mug for a teacup, so I always get just enough hot coffee to sip and enjoy before it loses too much temp. So now I drink a lot of small teacups worth instead of a regular mug. I recommend you try this style of serving coffee and see if its for you.
Bonus: this has been so helpful when making for multiple people, since I dont always know when others wake up or come downstairs. Since its a huge insulated server I never worry about not being able to serve my roommates hot coffee.
I hope you’re running linux on this server
I use nixos btw
Thank you for pointing this out, wasn’t aware of it. I’m a V60 convert as of a year ago & this looks like a good upgrade to my near daily setup.
I still sometimes have trouble getting the right balance of sour/bitter ratio. What technique do you all prefer with the V60?
I agree with the other commenter, your question is more likely to be seen by enough people for you to get helpful answers if you post it separately (especially since lemmy is small and the coffee community is a very small subset of that) but thats a great question and I’d be curious to see folks’ recommendations if you do end up making a post about it :)
I’m not very coffee knowledgeable myself so I don’t know that I could give a helpful answer, but I wish you well with figuring it out!
I’d love this thread, maybe make a dedicated post?

Im surprised that people apparently don’t use thermos carafes. I grew up in a household using this every morning. I switched to espresso so I have no use for this but it’s very convenient.
Yeah this one surprised me a lot…like, this is the most basic coffee accessory i can even think of, it’s so common here that even people that don’t give a crap about their coffee quality have one.
Why are hario products so cute? Like its such a simple carafe but its pretty, and I want one. I don’t even drink pour over coffee- I have no need for an insulated carafe, all I drink right now is iced mocha from aldi lol 😅 but I want one
Thanks for sharing! I recently picked up a Hario glass insulated server and my coffee gets cold before I finish it.
Can you take the lid off and fit an Aeropress XL on top?
I had similar experience, but I opted for Zojirushi insulated glass carafe.

I bought the 600ml version .
Basically similar, but the inside is made of glass. IMO, less reactive with coffee.
Keeps the coffee really hot for hours too 👍
From the store page it looks like it has a stainless steel interior, and I always feel like metal servingware gives coffee a bit of a metallic taste. Does this server mess with the flavor at all that you’ve noticed?
If you already have a double wall french press then just brew into it and use it as a carafe. I do that and it keeps the coffee in the press pot hot for much longer than I need.
This thread is funny to read as someone who’s gonna inherit his grandmas Alfi one day
I usually drink my coffee at my desk so I use a mug warmer set to about 150F. Keeps it in the perfect sipping temperature for the whole morning.
Admittedly I love my stupid and overpriced Ember mug
it’s stupid and expensive but it really makes a difference!
