V60 vs AeroPress: Which Coffee Should You Try at Basecamp Shigar?

A latte and an Americano are familiar choices, but the slow bar offers another way to enjoy coffee. At Basecamp Coffee in Shigar, the V60 and AeroPress give guests a chance to discover coffee as more than a quick caffeine stop. Both are manual brewing methods, but they produce different experiences.

What is a V60?

A V60 is a cone-shaped pour-over brewer. Hot water passes through ground coffee held in a paper filter. The method lets the barista manage the pour and extraction with care. It often produces a clear, delicate cup that makes individual coffee flavors easier to notice. If you enjoy tasting the differences between beans, ask about the available V60 options.

What is an AeroPress?

The AeroPress combines steeping with gentle pressure before the coffee passes through a filter. The result can feel rounder and fuller than a typical pour-over, depending on the recipe. It is a good option for guests who want a hand-brewed coffee with a different texture and brewing style.

Which should you choose?

Choose a V60 if you enjoy a lighter, cleaner drinking experience and want to focus on the origin of the coffee. Try an AeroPress if you prefer a fuller-feeling cup. Brewing style is only one part of flavor: beans, roast, grind and recipe matter just as much. Ask the Basecamp team what is on the slow bar today.
