Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
A little late to this party, but when I saw this thread and looked up what the Melodrip was, I thought my OXO pourover does the same thing, but hands free. The Gabi looks to be pretty similar.
I avoided pourover for a while, not wanting to get more gear like a gooseneck and to stand around doing the magical pouring routine. I got the OXO when it came out and Reddit was ripping on the thing left and right. This thing is dead simple, I get consistent results, and I think it makes a clean tasting delicious cup of coffee. It's under $20, so cheaper than all the other options in this thread too.
This guy and the Aeropress give me everything I find myself needing.
From the look of things, yeah, the OXO device looks similar enough to a Gabi, just a different filter type and a different (bigger) size. If there's a disadvantage to the Gabi, it's that: it's rather small, so unless you're doing single cups, you'll have to pour in a couple of rounds, making sure your bed doesn't dry out in the meantime, etc. It won't be a problem if you do single cups, so I suppose that's what it's primarily aimed at. Oh, and the type of filters differ, of course, so if you have a strong preference there, that might dictate the dripper/drip-assist you can use.
Either way, yes, the OXO looks to be the same kind of thing, good to hear it works well, too!
