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.

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

      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?

          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 ?

            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.

              Hmm. I did have a look.

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

              Probably personal preference which is best.
