This is a coffee community, not an espresso community. Here's my evil drip brew machine and morning abomination
(lemmy.world)
I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.
Nah that's my house. What's a pourover?
You pour the water (from a kettle or whatever) yourself instead of the machine doing all of the work.
"all the work" you mean your machine pours water into itself?
Yes
you can go all the way from cheap to absurd in price, but pretty much the cup you're drinking from becomes the pot, and the pourover is the drip brewer. place filter, add coffee, pour hot water, done. throw away the grounds and filter and rinse the pourover, cleanup is done.
i bought one of the cheapo ones when my second keurig machine in 2 years took a shit, and never looked back. the only con that i've found is that it won't suffice for multiple coffee drinkers at once. if you're traveling you can throw the pourover, bag of coffee, and filters in your luggage and not have to deal with a hotel's shit tier coffee. or if you're staying at some weirdo house where no one drinks coffee. just use one of their cups to microwave some water
That’s when it’s Chemex Time!™ Or you have to lateral to french press.
