If you're the type who hits snooze twice and then runs to your desk with a mug of instant coffee, pour-over might not be for you. It takes about 5 minutes total, including boiling water. If that's a dealbreaker, stick with your current method.

Also, if you don't like the idea of buying filters and a dripper, or if you're not willing to experiment a little, this might not be your thing. Pour-over rewards a bit of patience.
