Last time I saw someone make this assertion on HN, they summoned a horde of really chill coffeephiles. They were kind enough to tell him how, actually he was wrong and everything about coffee is totally legit and there’s no woo at all.

Honestly it is different. There is a point of diminishing returns. But the fact is you can make great coffee with simple pourovers or aeropress and that is well respected in the coffee community.

Espresso is a lot easier to understand too, it's an entirely physical process, and everyone has had bitter, bad tasting espresso, so it's easier to know what "good" tastes like, vs some arbitrary chart or subjective POV in the audiophile world talking about how your house needs rewired because it puts noise into your setup.
