If you care to take the time to savor a cup of coffee, then, yes—a pour-over coffee maker is right for you. These appliances are inexpensive, generally less than the cost of an automatic drip coffee pot. And, a cup brewed with this technique will have a much smoother and more fully developed flavor. The biggest drawback to a pour-over coffee maker is the time involved. The brewing process for each cup can take as long as fifteen minutes.
