Can a $600 automatic coffee machine actually out-brew a April pour-over routine? Today, we are putting the xBloom to the ultimate test against a manual setup to see if automation can beat human technique.
To give the machine a real challenge, I went up against it using the April Brewer paired with the April Hand Grinder. The results were honestly pretty surprising! While the standard xBloom method delivered an incredibly delicious cup, both setups proved to be absolutely fantastic in their own ways.
Are we officially being replaced by machines, or does manual brewing still reign supreme? Let's find out.
