I had an electric single coffee cup machine for years. (I am the only coffee drinker in the house.) When it died, I went to the type that you poured the water in, but got tired have having to heat the water and then pour it in the funnel. Sometimes the filter does't want to cooperate and if you pour in too much water there is an overflow issue. It was easier for me to just fill a water tank, press the button, do something else, come back and my coffee was ready to go. (I use Keurig now.) My morning routine is usually, turn on the coffee maker, decide what I want to have, put away the dishes in the dishwasher, and when I am done my coffee is ready to go. I am not a morning person, so the simpler for me the better.

How is this process any different than the hot water going over the coffee in the Kuerig? Same process, less expensive over time.....the Walmart Melia pour over is only $2.60......GOOD WAY TO CHECK OUT THIS pour over process.

since I live alone I use a drip filter to make one cup at a time. I tried making two cups in a regular coffee maker, but the first cup tasted SO much better than the second -- and I wasn't waiting that long between cups either.

I looked for a pour over today at Walmart, but it must only be online.

We use the pour over type. My husband even hand grinds the beans most days. I usually use the electric grinder if I am making the coffee. He likes the control on the grind. But pour over makes the best coffee IMHO.

is this any different than drip coffee> when we were using well water coffee was much better made this way. I had an aluminum pot and also a pretty ceramic one. They came in different sizes, usually 2 to 7 cups

I really dont know. I did a quick search about the process, and there are some additional steps that help ensure a good cup of coffee.

I have one (a cheap one from the store), and use it at work (there is a Kuerig there, but it makes horrible coffee). If you pour a little to get the grounds wet, wait a few seconds to a minute, and then pour your hot water, the coffee is good. I just use a regular, small filter and fold it into a cone shape--much less expensive.
I have a nice espresso maker and a french press at home, but the pour over is fast enough and easy to clean.
