<p>We tried a Keurig, barista DD despised it, other coffee snobs also disdained it, but the quick & easy coffee kid took it away with her, much to the relief of my snobs.</p>
<p>We were having a fight over the crowded counter, one person had a 4 cup pot, one person had a 12 cup pot, both were always out, even if I put them back in the cupboard at night. I keep an electric kettle out all the time so I bought them one of those over cup filter holders, despite some grumbling, both now do pour overs and are surviving fine. I am happy without a cluttered counter, so I would give points to the pour over if you have an electric or other kettle to boil water. Instant hot dispensers are not hot enough. The key to good coffee or good tea is starting with fully boiling water.</p>
