Dear coffee juice estimators, I’ve had this V60 02 dripper for 3,5 years and some hairline cracks have been building up all over the cone. At one point, a bigger horizontal crack appeared and a short time ago a bigger vertical one took off while pouring - I really heard and felt the plastic creaking. It has almost never seen the dishwasher, mainly only rinsing and hand washing.
I’ve used this V60 regularly, more often in the last year than the years prior, but I wanted to ask if someone experiences the same degradation with other colors of plastic? I have two AeroPress devices that are like new, one being older than this dripper…
It looks like a very poor material choice, but maybe it’s due to the crystal clear transparency.
Close up:
I’m a bit out of the loop regarding new recipes making use of the Switch, I will look into it! I also saw some colored versions with color-matched silicon base that look much better to me. In the end though, it’s a tool and aesthetics are not that high priority
