Love that los sueños is one of my local spots but I gotta get peoples opinions on the “pour over to go” in the batch pots! 🤔

Yeah I'm curious on that one. I've never seen them make one of those pots.

On a similar note, is a drip maker just an automatic pour over, functionally anyhow?

Yep, they do it all by hand! Sometimes you’ll see them line up pour overs and just make a ton at once for their pots.

I don’t have enough coffee knowledge to understand drip vs. pour over though lol

I’ve seen the row of pour overs behind the counter and figured that’s what they were doing. Interesting to see!

You could say they are the same ‘functionally’ but not the same end result. This doesn’t mean you can’t get coffee to taste good with a drip/batch brew system but you just lose some control with large batches. Seeing them actually make multiple pour overs at once and out into a pot is essentially creating an environment like a batch brewer where it will balance any subtly off flavors, but for me this also loses some of the nuance of the ritual. Anyway, I’ll link an article if you’re interested.
