TIL a barista in Portland showed me how to swirl a pour-over for a full minute. My morning cup tastes totally different now.

That swirl really does change everything. I started doing it with my French press too.

Swirling my French press was a total game changer too lol

Just to clarify, a French press doesn't need a swirl like a pour-over does. The grounds are already fully soaked in a press. Swirling it can actually over-extract and make the coffee bitter. For a press, you just want a good, steady plunge after it steeps.
