Every pour over I've tried just hasn't tasted good, no matter what coffee grounds I used. Not sure why a drip coffee maker makes it taste better.
I also used to have these little bags that I could put whatever coffee I wanted in (similar to those tea bag type coffee pods) and no matter the quality of the beans, it never came out tasting good or even close to what it should have.
We even have those little fill-able K-cups and no matter the grind, they just don't taste good even using them in the Keurig.
So I guess I am a coffee snob.......because I love my Italian Roast Via's. I just won't pay more than 30 cents for one. So I'm more of a cheapskate than a coffee snob.
