sounds like a load of hype ass bullshit to me

but not in a bad way

up front: everyone should do what works best for them. no judgement.

with that out of the way, yes, machines make coffee, and they're easy. the biggest thing that keeps me from using one is the tubing-- if you don't religiously run cleaning cycles (which is more $ for the cleaner chemicals), then you end up with internal tubing full of bacterial colonies, which, no thanks. that's to say nothing of the reservoir. when did you last clean the reservoir of your coffee machine?

pourover = rinse out, air dry or towel dry, no moisture for shit to grow in

also, you talk about "grinding fresh for each pot" which i totally agree, but then you say "schedule the brew time" which means letting the "fresh ground" coffee sit in a coffee machine basket overnight, open to the world, which, as you know from working in coffee, negates the "fresh ground" bit. the coffee is fine, i pre-grind my own coffee. but i definitely taste a difference in coffee i grind immediately before brewing, and that which i grind the night before

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

"all the work" you mean your machine pours water into itself?

i managed to read about half of hillbilly elegy before throwing it away, and yea...vance's family (according to vance) is a bunch of shitty moronic losers. which, coming from couchfucker himself, means they must really be something else

with a pourover, you'd be doing even less work with less cleanup

when i was a kid we were set to go on a long trip and i got to pick out a book for it--i randomly picked dragons of autumn twilight, my first ever fantasy novel--instant addiction; don't know how many bookshelves i filled up with dragonlance books, but it was a lot

i should have clarified: jack nicholson batman wasn't steamy diarrhea. it was good, though dated by this point, but batman returns was much better imo

tim burton's second batman was way better than the first, worth trying. danny devito nailed it as the penguin, christopher walken was an amazing corpo ceo slimeball, and michelle pfeiffer still the best catwoman

the rest of the pre-nolan movies were all steamy diarrhea. one of them actually wrecked chris o'donnell's career

oh yea, and the last samurai dude

vampire of the mists was one of my favorite books as a kid. and written by a first-time novelist who went on to write tons of books in sci-fi fantasy. recommended
