Like any hobby, it's a deep rabbit hole. I won't attempt to convince you, like you can't convince me to buy Ardilistry Spring water to add (#X drops) into my Islay Whisky.

Oh, I know different brewers and brewing methods get different results, I had a crappy Cuisinart that didn't get hot enough too! But my Braun for $100 makes excellent coffee.
My question was more related to the different ways of pouring hot water in a pourover. Does a gooseneck kettle really make a better cup than pouring hot water in? Does blooming really provide any benefit? pre-wetting the filter? I dunno, it seems at that point you probably aren't able to taste the difference in a blind test. Diminishing returns.
