Aeropress was my first manual brewing method, and I loved the portability, especially when paired with a small grinder, like the hario mini - I could fit the grinder into the aeropress.
Got burnt by hot water a few times when using the inverted method though :(
Recently been using v60 a lot more, produces very clean results for me (less fines unlike the aeropress, especially if using a metal filter).
If it takes a more then 3 mins for your v60 pourover, can consider a coarse grind methinks.
I agree that v60 gives out more clean body. But it takes a greater skill. A skill I wish to have. Still learning though. Any tips for a fellow v60 beginner?
V60 is probably my favorite overall, but a Chemex is a real close second that I think it gets slept on a lot. The comparatively heavy paper filters can sometimes mute flavor notes but the mouthfeel you get from a Chemex is absolutely sublime and I've never been able to replicate it with any other brew method.
V60 has always been my favorite, but recently I bought origami dripper and I love it. It's rather similar to V60 but taste is much more intensive without extra bitterness.

I’m mostly following the James Hoffman technique, but some stuff I felt made a difference for me are:
In a pinch, if there extraction is too slow with your current set up, try going (a lot) coarser and see if the results taste better

I've only ever used an Aeropress for manual brewing. What are the notable improvements/differences with other options?

I was always a French press kind of guy, but I've recently turned around and become a big fan of the v60. My go to every morning nowadays.
