Visited that new third-wave spot in Denver and their pour-over took 8 minutes
Honestly, I get the craft, but waiting that long for a single cup just kills the vibe. The barista said it was 'for precision,' but everyone in line was just checking their phones. Has anyone else found a place that balances quality with not taking forever?

My local spot in Austin times their pour-overs for four minutes flat, and it's still amazing. The eight-minute thing feels like theater for people who want to feel fancy. At a certain point, you're just watching water drip and the coffee gets bitter anyway. I'd rather have a great cup in half the time and actually talk to the person I'm with.

Ugh, eight minutes is way too long for coffee, sending solidarity from someone who gave up on pour-overs after a five-minute wait.
