Being a coffee drinker and former barista--back in the day--I take my now meager two cups a day seriously, and the Pour-Over is an excellent addition to my day. Though to get the best cup from it you still need to moisten the grounds and wait a few seconds before filling the tank. This allows me to get my wife's tea going, but still, standing over the filter for a few seconds is necessary to let the coffee grounds bloom. 
I love the design also; clean and smooth lines and a good finish to the plastic. It is a simple object that OXO has made very well.
