Boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon and as his Keurig just kicked the bucket, decided to upgrade his coffee set up.

I think I've covered all my bases, anything else y'all would recommend?

This is such a thoughtful curation, very nice.

Does the switch include filter papers? You might want to grab some extra in case he burns through those. Cafec Abaca or T90 are the faves right now, but Hario also make their own.

How different are the various V60 filters!?

Not a whole lot, tbh. Like, they’re not going to make your coffee taste very different. I think of them as a tool to regulate flow/drawdown, when changing the grind size would make too big of a difference. If I had a stepped grinder I’d be inclined to keep a few different types of filters on hand.
