I currently use a pretty nice Ninja coffee maker but I’m trying to simplify my coffee experience and found using a pour over coffee maker to be somewhat therapeutic. It may sound weird but I felt more connected to the coffee.

So I think I’m down to deciding between a borosilicate carafe pour over with a 304 stainless steel filter and an insulated French press (also 304). I have never used a French press and I like the idea of having the insulation on either, but then I second guess myself and think “Can’t you just make more coffee if you need more or pour more hot water? Why do you need to keep it hot?”

What are your thoughts about it?

    I was confused, what strength exercise a boroscilate pour over is, until I realised this wasn’t about fitness, but about coffe

    If you feel a good connection with the pour over process, you should just stick with that. That kind of visceral satisfaction is precious in life, and when you encounter it you should respect it and sanctify it. And hold onto it.
