Showerthought: I thought those $4 pour over filters were a scam until my buddy in Portland made me try one
I always used a cheap drip machine and figured fancy pour over stuff was just hipster nonsense, but my buddy in Portland sat me down with his gooseneck kettle and a $4 box of filters and the cup tasted way cleaner, like I could actually pick out the chocolate notes. Now I'm sitting here with a scale and a timer feeling like a fool for all those years of burnt sludge. Has anyone else caved on a coffee gadget they swore they'd never buy?
