Kids got me a Melitta thermal pot pourover. So I was wondering if I needed to preheat the thermal pot prior to doing the pourover. Just wondering if it affects taste or just another geeky thing to do?(enjoying a cup of Columbian in Benbrook, Texas)
ah now we digress. I meant the pot the coffee is going into. Of course you have to preheat the pouring pot. DUH! So I will continue to do both depending on the mood. Ah the quest for an easy answer.(old but not slow in Benbrook, Texas)
