Switched from a french press to a pour over after 5 years of thinking it was hype
Honestly I used to think pour over was just for people who wanted to show off. I was team french press for like 5 years straight, making my morning coffee the same way every day. Then a barista at a shop in Austin last month let me try their pour over and I finally got why people bother. The clean taste without any grit blew my mind. Has anyone else made a switch like that and regretted not doing it sooner?

Trading my french press for a v60 was the best coffee decision I ever made.

Honestly I used to be the opposite, I thought french press was the only way to go. But then I tried a friends v60 setup and it totally changed my mind. The clean cup is what got me, no sludge at the bottom. @the_leo you made me realize how much better the flavor comes through without all that grit. Have you found any specific beans that taste way better with the v60 compared to the french press?

That 30-second steep time on the french press was always too easy to mess up. Did you find the v60 gives you more control over the brew or is it just a cleaner cup?
