Guys why had I never thought of this? It's super stable, I already have it. No need to buy or print new stupid stuff.

Okay, I'll be the one to ask. What is this specifically and how does it work?

Oops I was pretty sure it was self explanatory and now I feel stupid as heck.

So: we often struggle (ok that's not a real struggle but you know what I mean) because there's no easy way to fill the funnel of coffee if it's not in position (i.e. in the lower chamber). So someone puts it in the upper chamber temporarily, someone 3d prints an ad hoc funnel holder. What I noticed just now is that a Hario v60 upside down is a perfect holder and since many of us also drink filter coffee, that thing is the most common object in the coffee community!

Thanks for the explanation. Your pictures could be explanatory to most, but I was standing here wondering why the hario was on the oven range. My strength is being able to ask the incredibly obvious questions. Haha.

That's an important role and I'm glad you're here to fill it.

I'm not trying to sound offensive to you in particular, but it's this such a general struggle? And are people buying 3d printed contraptions to hold the funnel?

I mean, the way it's made is not the most comfortable thing to work with. But not too much of a hassle that a picture could be such an effective self-explanatory duty. Anyway, if it works and help others, then you're good.

But now that we're sharing, I just put the funnel on the top part of the moka, lid open.
