“You can thank Mr. Hoffman for recommending the t-90s and Abacas. Now they're either sold out or double/triple the normal price to meet increased demand. Anybody have a decent alternative for the t-90 that's not Sibarist?”

“Isn’t the purpose of a gooseneck to agitate the grounds and control the “swirl”? Why would anyone want to turn a v60 into a drip brewer and needlessly add more plastic to their life?”

Worth trying
CAFEC Abaca Filter Paper has been very popular all over the world for years as the symbolic product of CAFEC thanks to the fast-water flow by the good balanced Two-Side crepe and because of an eco-friendly product.
Abaca+ filter paper not only includes abaca, but also has the FSC certificate. And more, the total volume of package is also decreased by lowering the height of crepe. Then, it will contribute to transportation cost reduction. It can be said that the Abaca+ filter paper is a next-generation product.
FSC Certified: The FSC certificate shows that the banana-tree fiber to make the paper is only sourced from well-managed, eco-friendly forests. 100% sustainable: No wood is used in the paper making process: ABACA: Manilla Hemp, is extracted from the leaf-stems of a certain species of banana tree, leaving the wood and tree completely intact.
