Lmao I love the soup comparison. It's like the joke that a vanilla soy latte is a three bean soup.
You make a good point. I could just get a large vessel like a pot and a large filter basket or funnel? Omg you just made me think I could use my Breville coffee maker just to hold the filter and pour the ready-made coffee through the top into the carafe without actually turning the machine on.
Another thought is just getting two more Hario Switches and doing them all at once. I have the process down to such an exact routine that I do it pretty quickly. 5 min steep time x6 with a few extra minutes prep ends up being like 45 minutes total. If I got three I could do the whole thing in 15 minutes hah.
Thanks for the discussion! I'm going to experiment with all these ideas and see which one I like the best.
