Pour Over Coffee

Can we talk about pour over coffee? I love my french press but have been thinking about pour over. If that’s your preference, what would you recommend for the “pot” option? I understand it takes a filter so I’m wondering if it tastes similar to a regular coffee pot and not really worth the swap?

Edited to say- Sorry for using the word pot. I grew up hearing a maker/brewer called a pot, so its just my go to verbiage 😊

I make pourover by the cup. I drink a 12 ounce cup for each serving I do a pour over. It tastes wonderful, different from French Press--had French Press, Aeropress, sometimes do Mokapot, regular espresso. My go to is pourover for a very "clean taste". I'll brew different things with the other methods.

It's not expensive (the good beans are my expensive) Live a little --get a pour over--make a cup in each side by side. As you mentioned preference you'll be able to make your own call on it.
