I gotta admit, I do love pour overs. The first time I saw the offering I thought to myself "wow, hand made and single batch just for me" and I was hooked. I still love them, I think part of it is exactly a direct reflection on mechanized, large batch coffee process that still feels personal and intimate.
Hard agree! When I go to a coffee shop, there's something really beautiful about a person hand making your coffee for you, and the intimacy it brings can't be matched. But a pour over isn't necessarily a one-to-one signifier for quality, I think there was a moment where we falsely did make that assumption. It's cool to see people explore quality among brew methods and hone in on what makes a brewing device special, and I think having more options actually highlights the intimacy and care of pour over.
