This Pour Over Coffee Maker For A Delicious Morning Brew

  via Amazon  

If you haven’t had coffee from a pour over maker then this your notice to get one. The taste is incredible and the clean up is a breeze. You’ll want to read some of the over 7,000 5-Star reviews if you’re not convinced. Like this one, “Former barista here. Whenever I brewed coffee at home, I would use a French press to get the job done. It was tedious in the sense that the cleanup at the end was pretty involved, having to remove and clean all of the different layers of the French press. When I purchased this pour-over coffee-maker, however, it completely changed the game for me. Making coffee no longer takes four minutes to brew, and the cleanup at the end is so simple and can be done immediately within seconds. I now enjoy making coffee at home so much more thanks to this Bodum pour-over coffee-maker.”
