Just passed 1000 pourovers and one fact hit me hard

I hit my 1000th pour-over brew this morning on my $30 plastic V60. That's 3 years of boiling water, weighing beans, timing pours every single day. Anyone else realize how much coffee they actually consume when you stop and count?

I'm sitting on about half that, around 550 brews over 2 years, and I actually think that's a lot not a little. 1000 in 3 years means you're making one every day, which is pretty normal for someone who cares about their morning cup. I do two a day sometimes, one for me and one for my partner, so the numbers stack up faster than you think. What made you decide to count them in the first place?

Oh come on, 550 brews in 2 years is barely a drop in the bucket. A hundred brews a year is more like a hobby, not a habit. 1000 in 3 years means you're basically just having one cup a day, which is pretty light honestly. If you're doing two a day for yourself and your partner, that's still under 1,500 total, which is just normal consumption at home. I don't get why people make such a big deal out of counting every single pour like it's some achievement. It's just coffee, not a marathon. You're not impressing anyone with those numbers, trust me.
