Making coffee is a part of almost everyone’s day and we’ve all got our preferred coffee-making routine. Routine is great; for some of us it’s a great way to make sure that everything gets done properly, by creating a sort of to-do list of tasks. For others, routine is almost a ritual; it can be very calming to turn off your mind for a minute to do something routine.
The Two Cup Brew
Using a two cup-sized pour over ceramic coffee dripper is your choice of brewing method if you had a guest, spouse, or other housemate and you were making coffee for more than just yourself. Of course, this could also just be because you are going to be up late studying for that midterm or writing that paper and know you’re going to want to have a second cup as well! Maybe you’re a busy parent and want to have a cup before the kids get up and another one for a travel mug when you start your day.
The person using a pour over ceramic coffee dripper that makes two cups knows they want to brew once but have more than one cup. They are after the efficiency as much as they are after a great cup of pour over coffee.
The One Cup Brew
On the other side, choosing the single cup size of pour over ceramic coffee dripper can be the best choice for some people as well. Obviously, this would be your go-to if you wanted just one cup of coffee for yourself, either at home or at work. Keeping a small pour over ceramic coffee dripper for yourself in your office doesn’t take up much space or get in the way, and this way you can make your own coffee the way you like it, not like the regular cheap break room coffee.
The single cup brewer doesn’t mind getting up to go make a second cup if they get through the first one because they love the brewing ritual. Maybe they love the fresh smell of the coffee brewing throughout the day. Maybe they find the routine of boiling water, putting the filter and grounds in just right, and then pouring the water in and watching the coffee brew before they get to add their extras to create their best experience, to be calming. A ritual like this can be one of the few times of day when we take a step back for ourselves and slow our minds down. It can be calming, centering, and very satisfying.
In the end, most people are probably a mix of both types of coffee drinkers. It truly comes down to how you love your coffee and how much time you have in your day. With a pour over ceramic coffee dripper, you can have one or two cups fresh and ready when you need, and how you like it.
