    I am definitely not an expert and probably a poster child for “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” but after hearing about cafestol and kahweol and reading articles like this, I figured better safe than sorry since I tend toward borderline high.

    Compared to machine drip for sure, but it can pull out a lot of different flavors than you’d get from espresso (whether you want those flavors is another issue). My friend turned me on to the 4:6 method if you’re curious about methodology. I wouldn’t argue that it’s better or worse than espresso or drip (okay maybe drip 😂) but it’s giving me the flavors I want out of coffee right now.

    It’s surprisingly easy to make (but with a ton of room for finesse I am learning). You do need a coffee grinder to take advantage of maximum bean freshness, though, but taste difference is huge

    Thanks! I like the triangle as a name for it. I went to Japan this summer and it took me forever to figure out they call pour over/the triangle “drip,” (which is what I think of as machine coffee). Gotta standardize these names!
