I would say though that there are a few more considerations to keep in mind relative to the "audiophile" analogy. - pourovers take a ton of time and effort, but an Aeropress is really fast. I think I spend maybe about a net time investment of 45 seconds (15 seconds to start the kettle/hit the grind button, 15 seconds to set it up, 15 seconds to make the coffee) between which phases I can do other stuff, like work, or, more likely, hacker news. Of course, this is WAY less time than going to a starbucks. - even the more expensive beans are still on the order of 5x cheaper than the cheapest starbucks.
