The snob at Blue Bottle in Portland made me ditch pourover for good
Guy told me my V60 technique was 'aggressive' while I was just trying to get out the door on my lunch break. Been using a French press ever since and honestly I get better flavor with half the attitude. Anyone else run into baristas who think they're coffee judges?
Yeah I actually had the same issue a few weeks back. Slowing down my pour and giving it a good 30 second bloom made a huge difference. Took like 3 tries before I found the sweet spot where it wouldn't stall or channel.
