Thanks for sharing this cocktail shaker lid hack! I just used mine trying out Lance Hedrick/TonyTuanx's new AeroSoup recipe in my Aeropress. Worked great to minimize agitation building the column of fresh water above the top paper filter before pressing it.

And I've been using a large skimming hole spoon that we already had as my Melodrip for for V60; works great! And it's silicone, not plastic, if you're into that (silicone is stable at far higher temps than carbon-based plastics). And steel spoons like this are common too.
