French press or borosilicate pour over?

☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
Pour-overs and French press are my two go-to methods to make coffee at home. They're both lovely methods, but if you've never used a French press, at least make sure you try coffee from a French press (if you haven't ever tried it).
You're going to get a pretty different cup even using the same coffee with a paper-filtered pour-over vs a French press with its steel mesh, which lets through a lot more of the oils from your beans. I do quite like both brews, and honestly the biggest factor when choosing a method in the morning is do I want one cup (in which case I use my V60) or two (where I opt for French press).
I can't speak for insulated anything because even when making a full (uninsulated) French press I drink all my coffee before it gets cold :P
