who makes
what's on the bar.
every manufacturer that builds something a café might pour through — sorted by tier (home, prosumer, commercial). each brand page lists which directory cafés use them. neither wirecutter nor the retailers can do that.

v60, chemex, aeropress, kalita, april.
the drippers, presses, and kettles people actually compete with. flat-bottom vs cone, paper vs metal, the small choices that change the cup. no espresso machines on this shelf — that's the tier above.

chemex
the carafe schlumbohm patented in 1941. still right.
aeropress
alan adler's syringe. one cup, ninety seconds.
kalita wave
flat-bottom, three-hole. forgiving on technique.
