A well made pour over will be every bit as “good” as a well made espresso. It’s also way less demanding in terms of equipment and technique.

Making an espresso on par with the best coffee shops requires a great deal of skill/experience and thousands of dollars in equipment. If you don’t have the skill or equipment, straight espresso is usually pretty disgusting.

You can make a phenomenal pour over with a YouTube video and $150 in gear.

However, they’re different styles of drinks. A pour over is much less concentrated and doesn’t have the crema/body of espresso.
