Doreen pretends that she can make coffee, but she can't. She's not a micro-detail person and doesn't place enough importance in the entire brewing process to dedicate focused time on a pourover. Imagine every pourover rule that can be broken and she's guilty of breaking them all throughout the week.
Her idea was a machine for multiple guests when I'm off racing somewhere (I'm in Arizona in 2wks for a race), or out riding, etc. My thought is it will help improve her daily cup and if 6mths from now she's the only one using it every day, it's been a good purchase. An additional upside, our guests (who turn out to be some of my customers) will be able to enjoy my personal roasts from a consistently performing machine that is steps above Doreen's coffee abilities.
Plus, coffee toys are fun.
