I currently use a pretty nice Ninja coffee maker but I’m trying to simplify my coffee experience and found using a pour over coffee maker to be somewhat therapeutic. It may sound weird but I felt more connected to the coffee.

So I think I’m down to deciding between a borosilicate carafe pour over with a 304 stainless steel filter and an insulated French press (also 304). I have never used a French press and I like the idea of having the insulation on either, but then I second guess myself and think “Can’t you just make more coffee if you need more or pour more hot water? Why do you need to keep it hot?”

What are your thoughts about it?

    That’s curious not weird!!

    Having a cup pour over is nice because it can trap the heat in your mug. Your machine most likely needs its proprietary can to let it drip drip drip.

      Yeah, I wear seeing the 8 cup basket pour over devices and was thinking I could do that with my current drip machine for fun … my main concern will getting the water measurements as I can’t easily weigh the machine.
