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.

        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.
