On the range of over-the-top coffee things, the Hario v60 and the Aeropress are way off the bottom of the scale. The Aeropress’s MSRP is $39.95. The v60 ranges from $12-$30 depending on color and material.

Yeah to really appreciate the V60 you need a gooseneck kettle that can slowly pour without splashing, so add another 20 bucks to that cost (or 100+ if you want an electric gooseneck kettle). It's still all in much cheaper than even a nice drip brewer.

Sure, but the fact that even this bottom of the scale has its name and version number and proper capitalization is telling.

It's like calling my mug the CoffeeHolder 2000.

V60 isn't a version number, it designates the angle of the V-shaped brewing cone.
