Hario V60 vs. Beehouse
I'm a firm believer in Hario. I love everything they make, and believe it's beautiful, function, and practical. I've noticed (in my findings) and increase in the popularity of beehouse drippers. This is completely biased thought...but why would you choose that over hario?
I say this because the V60's shape and ribbed cone scientifically make much more sense. Where as beehouse has two small holes that often get backed up, and have no sort of form to let gravity brew the coffee.
I have yet to make a cup of coffee with ANY dripper (besides chemex) that tastes as balanced as Hario.
I'm not looking for anyone to make a fuss over this, or tell me i'm wrong. It's just a thought.
For those who prefer beehouse, I'd like to hear your reasons!
This is strictly curiosity, and I want to see if I should try exploring with beehouse more.

When customers ask why we sometimes use a V60 and sometimes use a Beehouse we have a few answers for them:
1) The filter media is a little different. Different coffees work better with one than another. (for example I like dry processed coffees better through a Beehouse than through a V60, but the other way around for wet processed coffees)
2) Because there are two small holes instead of one large hole it's much easier to get a consistently good cup. It's much harder to get a 95+ cup off of a Beehouse, but it's also much harder to get a sub 85 (random numbers as examples). It's very easy to botch a V60, especially for a home user who's asking me which one they should buy.
There is certainly a huge Hario following right now, mostly pushed by a few companies that a lot of people seem to look up to, and mostly not validated. There are better kettles than the Bueno for sure (at much better prices), the same goes for vac pots and cold brewers and I don't feel like the V60 is worth all the buzz it's getting, despite it being a nice brewer.
Taste is always subjective.

This is very beneficial for me and my shop. We have been big fans of the hario but there is an inconsistency if one does not pay enough attention to the brewing or if someone has not been as informed in how to brew accurately with the hario. This is issue for us, because we are a newer shop (1 year old) and we are trying to push and implement pour over brewing within the shop. We are currently using Hario but have used beehouse at home. Many of the issues you guys have brought up are similar to what we are running into. Thanks for your thoughts.
