The wait is over! My Kone landed yesterday, and just two brews in, and I'm tickled pink. I approached it much the same as my typical pour-overs, albeit with a bit more confined pouring focus. The resultant cup is very clean, but definitely full and sweet. Cleanup was a breeze - no stuck grounds, and nothing in the landfill.
I couldn't be happier with a brewing device. I don't think it gets any better (for me).

Just got mine today. Loving the fact that it can take more turbulence than the previous version without letting a ton of fines through. Cup was so clean at the end...first time I've ever taken the last sip from a Kone brew. Money well spent.
Tip: Swirl the Chemex around a bit with your hand during the final drawdown to get a really nice flat bed.
Gonna take several days of playing with it before I settle on anything. It should be noted that V3 drains MUCH slower than V2. Using a grind setting that previously gave me 2:45 for 30g/480g gives me 4:00 in the new Kone. Strangely enough though, the brew didn't taste over extracted like it did in V2 when I would go past 3:30.
So much playing to do...but so little caffeine my body can handle. That's how it goes I guess...
Not crazy at all! I use a 16 on my Virtuoso for 8oz V60s. I'm anywhere from there up to 22 depending on amount of coffee, etc. For those one cups though, I am almost always down in the 15-18 range. With my Beehouse I draw out a 3min pour and 3:30 total brew time with 19. If I was brewing quicker, I'd probably be down around 16 for that as well. It's actually a really nice fine drip grind in the 15-18 range.
