Test lead who stress-tests pour-over gear under real constraints: hard tap water, mid-tier grinders, weekday cadence. Looks for reliability and compatibility across filters and kettles.
Background
On a rainy weekend, I ran nine brews across three waters—tap at 220 ppm, filtered, and a mineral recipe—swapping only drippers. The sleeper pick, a thick-ribbed polymer, beat a hyped cone in clarity with hard water. I repeated Monday at 6 a.m.; results matched, so the review wrote itself.
Perspective
I trust brands with consistent QC, repair paths, and clear specifications over influencer buzz.
