I did the pourover thing. It's definitely a clean cup of coffee, and I love how strong the flavor profile of the beans come in. But it does taste a little...weak, in terms of the coffee? I've probably gotten too used to cold brew concentrate and espresso shots that I feel a little underwhelmed by it, especially because I always take coffee with milk. Definitely worth the like, $10 I paid for the V60 and the filters for it.

Dark roast, cloth filter, hot water, straight on the cup, two spoons of sugar: perfection.
I also like to drink espresso when i have the chance, it's not very common around here, we usually just drink plain old filtered black coffee.
Those yankee weird stuff like pumpkin spice coffee make me really curious, i wish i could try it out but the only Starbucks in my city is on the airport and it's average airport price - fucking expensive. We only have Cafeteria Santa Clara, which is local and, again, only plain black coffee and capuccino, espresso, classic stuff.

You can make it at home if you want to try it. "Pumpkin spice" is just nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves, and a pumpkin spice latte is coffee, warm milk, pumpkin spice and vanilla. Ratios to taste. The Starbucks version is that with a ton of sugar.

That's definitely the way to go--better taste, better experience. If you don't have all those spices, and want it to taste more authentic to the Starbucks way, though, there's always flavored simple syrups from Torani/Monin/DaVinci.

Huh, seems to be pretty easy, i thought it used actual pumpkin on it, but searching for "pumpkin spice" i found out that is a kind of spices mix that used to make pumpkin pies! The more you learn man...
Never gonna do it anyways

Dammit, this thread reminded me of something I've desired for a while now. Went and bit the bullet, Hario siphon is on it's way.

Did you say Siphon Filter: Dark Mirrors? Cool game
