Pour over coffee is a forgotten art... wow your guests with delicious homemade coffee this holiday season. James Hoffman on YouTube is an excellent resource to get started with being an at home barista!
I used to do pour-over every morning but last year I finally caved and bought a pistachio-colored Moccamaster and never looked back. It brews a damn fine cup of coffee.
If the voice in your head is being too mean ask it if it would talk to someone you love this way. My internal monologue can be a 💩 and this sometimes can help it be more constructive
