In the last year or so I've been getting more and more into coffee, but I'm still a student so I can't afford all the fancy equipment and beans yet lol. After learning how to brew good coffee with my moka pot, some family members gave me a Melitta cone for pour-overs

I couldn't find much info or techniques for this kind of brewer, only for the V60 and such, so I wanted to ask here what your opinion on the Melitta cone is. Any recommendations? So far I'm happy with the coffee I'm brewing with it, but any extra information would be appreciated

The small holes are probably more forgiving of grinding than pouring, so if you're getting good results, I'd feel confident in your pouring with a different cone. People make a big deal about pouring technique, but as long as you're relatively consistent and not entirely careless, a v60 is not the finicky monster it's made out to be haha.

Hope the stir is great for ya, and happy pouring!
