No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes. I don't like it but sometimes I don't have time to make my normal pour over. Like lunchtime. Tastes pretty bad. Especially to a pour over coffee snob like me.
Even Costco sells it.
I’m a pour over die hard but have you tried aeropress? You can make a single cup very quickly and easily.
Pour over doesn't seem that popular in Australia. I mean I know it's a thing but I've never seen it or heard of anyone drinking it.
Here the at-home-coffee options go instant > french press > mocha pot > pods > espresso machine.
Where would pour over fit in here?
Not sure I understand your question. How strong is pour over coffee?
Not really, you can make "strong" coffee using any method.
I'm asking about the overall quality. On a scale of swill-drinker to intolerable-coffee-snob, who uses pour over ?
I would judge that pour over is higher tier. Search YT for vids, some people are sickly obsessive over how to do a pour. IMHO, pour over is second only to espresso.
Hmm. I did have a look.
I think you could divide extraction methods into pressurised vs non-pressurised.
Probably personal preference which is best.
I think I have heard of that. You need special hardware, right?
Yes, you do need the $40 brewer. And it’s best with fresh ground coffee so I’d recommend a burr grinder, but whatever pour over grind you use would work. https://aeropress.com
Don't you need their filters also ?
Yes
