You can do a pretty good pourover with the aeropress, just put the filter body over a mug, add the grounds and pour very slowly. I usually wet the grounds with about a quarter of the water, give it a few seconds the pour the remainder quite slowly. The sound changes very distinctly when the water level covers the grounds. I just keep the water level at the cover point. When the water is done, I let it drip out for 30 seconds before drinking.

I had not seen the Stagg before but looking at it now it appears much like the aeropress method I suggested. It looks like a hipsters version of the Vietnamese Phin cup coffee maker.

My wife does her own pourovers with the V60 but doesn't like results. As you say, it is kind of fussy to get a proper drenching of the grounds. A Chemex or Melita be would be the same, just larger volume.

I will ask some blind coffee maniacs I know if anybody has pourover suggestions.

I'd suggest you start with the kettle. I've got a glass one with temp selection and a nice narrow hooked spout, a gooseneck I believe it is called. It makes the pour much slower and easier. Possibly you could rotate the V60 whilst keeping the kettle stationary whilst pouring to get consistent saturation.

We use just a basic kettle and a Melita ceramic pour over coffee filter. You can hear the water drip through the pour over, so you shouldn’t have to touch it. We used to do this regularly, but now we’ve upgraded to an espresso maker.
