Pour-over gear, coffee stations, and minimalist setups from Japan.

Build a compact Japanese-style coffee setup

Coffee articles work best as a sequence: first decide where the station lives, then choose the V60, and buy only the gear your current tools can't cover.

Start with the setup

Use these guides when the main question is counter space, storage, and the daily coffee workflow.

Choose your V60

Once the station is clear, compare V60 size and material, and decide which gear to buy or keep.
