For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook's advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

Yes. I don't like it but sometimes I don't have time to make my normal pour over. Like lunchtime. Tastes pretty bad. Especially to a pour over coffee snob like me.

Even Costco sells it.

I’m a pour over die hard but have you tried aeropress? You can make a single cup very quickly and easily.

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think I have heard of that. You need special hardware, right?

[-] colorsoloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, you do need the $40 brewer. And it’s best with fresh ground coffee so I’d recommend a burr grinder, but whatever pour over grind you use would work. https://aeropress.com

Don't you need their filters also ?

Pour over doesn't seem that popular in Australia. I mean I know it's a thing but I've never seen it or heard of anyone drinking it.

Here the at-home-coffee options go instant > french press > mocha pot > pods > espresso machine.

Where would pour over fit in here?

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure I understand your question. How strong is pour over coffee?

[-] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Not really, you can make "strong" coffee using any method.

I'm asking about the overall quality. On a scale of swill-drinker to intolerable-coffee-snob, who uses pour over ?

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I would judge that pour over is higher tier. Search YT for vids, some people are sickly obsessive over how to do a pour. IMHO, pour over is second only to espresso.

[-] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm. I did have a look.

I think you could divide extraction methods into pressurised vs non-pressurised.

Probably personal preference which is best.
