So, I've been trying to master pour-over, and I discovered the following:
1) I disliked pour-over for one coffee - the flavors were off-putting, and I preferred Aeropress for it.

Anyone else here a fan of Vietnamese style coffee and phin brewers? I've long been a fan of both, especially the phin as a method for brewing a small amount of VERY STRONG coffee for mixed drinks (esp. as I don't yet have an espresso machine!).
