Drip Filter Coffee Methods

Hi, I’m hoping some coffee lovers can help me out. After trying several different coffee machine types, it turns out my favourite way to have coffee is drip filtered. I don’t want a big machine on the worktop so I use a Hario v60. I have a size 1 and a size 3 and an insulated size 3 pourer. However it takes SO LONG to make a single cup of coffee. Is there a better way to get the drip filter flavour without the time? Are the mesh filters any good? Maybe a machine is the way to go because at least then I could be getting on with something else instead of carefully swirl pouring for ages.

I sometimes use this type of filter. I just put the coffee in and moisten it with a little bit of water, wait a few seconds, then fill up the filter. I don’t faff about slowly adding water. The whole process takes 2 minutes. I am not a coffee expert though so probably my coffee is “undrinkable” to a true coffee lover. I much prefer my Nespresso coffees so that probably says it all!
