The barista at Blue Bottle changed my mind about pour-overs

I always thought pour-overs were just fancy drip coffee with extra steps. But last week the guy at Blue Bottle in SoHo spent 5 minutes showing me how the water flow matters, and after tasting his batch I bought a V60 on the spot. Anyone else have a coffee shop employee flip your opinion on something?

Dang, now I'm worried my coffee setup is way too bougie for my basic taste buds.

Trust your taste buds, not the hype. A cheap setup with fresh beans beats expensive gear every time. @danielowens is right about the cash pit, but you don't need to fall into it unless you want to.

Did you tip him 50% for that free coffee lesson? Because now you're gonna drop way more cash on beans just trying to recreate the magic.
