Thought pour-over was just hipster nonsense until a guy at my bar showed me his setup
For years I figured pour-over was a scam for people who wanted to feel fancy about coffee, and I said so out loud more than once. Then a regular at my bar, this retired teacher named Ray, brought in his little gooseneck kettle and a scale to the shop one slow Tuesday, and he made me a cup right there on the back counter. The difference was real, way more flavor came through than my drip machine at home ever gave me, and I felt a little dumb about all my complaining. Now I do it most mornings, though I still use a cheap kettle and don't time anything. Anyone got a grinder that won't cost more than my rent?

Wait, he brought a scale to your bar? Like a little kitchen scale for coffee? That is a level of commitment I did not know people had. I always figured guys like that just eyeball it and hope for the best, so hearing he weighed stuff out at your back counter kind of blows my mind. My drip machine has one button and I thought that was normal. Now I'm wondering what else I've been doing wrong this whole time.
