You know... I'm from Seattle. And I know coffee snobbery. Believe me, I do. But a slow pouring technique with a paper filter for a cup of coffee? This takes snobbery to a new level! Personally, I still think a french press is the best way to do it. I mean, I was one of the last Starbucks employees to be put through their "Coffee College" back in 2001. And I remember very specifically about them speaking against a paper filter when wanting to get the full taste of coffee. To get all the oils & crema and such. I'm sure there's a reason to do this whole slow pour thing... I just don't see it. All in all though, the coffee still was good. And the experience of getting your own personal pot of joe was a nice touch. I'll probably go back at some point. :)
