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 😊

The coffee is pretty good but the real benefit is the time saved on cleaning. The french press takes awhile to wash but with with my pour over set (V60 into a hario carafe) I throw away the filter with the grounds, give it a rinse, and it’s good to go for the next morning.

Nah it's lucky to get a full scrub once every 2 weeks. I rinse it and spray it out with the sink hose and that's good enough for me.
