DOWAN Pour Over Coffee Maker - Non-Electric Manual Coffee Dripper, Single Cup Porcelain Slow Brew Coffee Brewer for Home, Office & Camping - Perfect Gift for Coffee Lovers (White)

The coffee culture around pour over brewing can be really persnickety about "the right way" to do it, and I think they make it sound a lot more difficult than it really is. I do have an electric kettle that lets me boil to a specific temp, but it's not a gooseneck, and as I pour it cools off several degrees, making the temp precision feel somewhat pointless. The coffee turns out perfectly fine in spite of that. I've tried being more careful to maintain the temp, and more careful to pour very gently like a gooseneck, and it makes little discernable difference.The big upside to me of this kind of coffee brewing is how compact it is and how easy it is to clean. No hulking coffee machine with a bunch of plastic parts that stain and get grimy, and no carafe to clean--it's just this little hunk of ceramic that rinses clean under the tap almost instantly. Very tidy and efficient.UPDATE: I got bored one day and watched some YouTube videos on pour over technique, just to give being "persnickety" a try. And umm... it *did* make a difference. Now I've got a stopwatch out, I'm measuring my coffee and my water on a scale, I'm preheating, I'm swirling, I'm pulsing, I'm back to buying whole bean coffee so I can grind it fresh with pinpoint control over fineness--I've become the very thing I mocked. But on the plus side, it's a rewarding little mini game to try and master, because it unlocks a level of coffee deliciousness that I did not know existed.Let me reiterate that you're FINE to just drown the beans in water straight off the kettle with reckless abandon, and you'll still get results as good or better than your average electric brewer. But for those in need of a hobby, this really raises the ceiling on how good coffee can taste.
