During my morning news crawl I discovered this coffee gem. The concept of pour-over coffee has potential in my mind to produce a better cup. If I'm completely honest though, it seems much to fussy. I think I'll be sticking to my french press for now.

Have any of you tried coffee this way? Is it better, or just some hipster craze?
