As long as it has effect to the taste, you cannot call it pseudoscience. I agree that most drippers don't really have significant effect, theyre just gimmick. But when i compare hario v60 glass, and kinto ceramics, the taste is completely distinguishable.

@@rivellehaidar318 Pseudoscience distorts or manipulates scientific concepts or kernels of truth to bolster unfounded claims or beliefs. In the world of drippers there is quite a lot of "gray" area, there these "claims" usually don't even have scientific data to back it up let alone exaggerate it. For instance, attributing an improvement in aroma and sweetness solely to a specific coffee dripper without substantial empirical scientific evidence would fall under pseudoscience, failing to adhere to any scientific standards to prove it. While variations in brewing equipment, such as using a V60 versus a Kinto, may produce differences, most home brewers willing to modify multiple variables like grind setting, water temperature, and mineral content and can achieve very similar outcomes. Hence, asserting that a single variable significantly influences the quality of the brew (like a dripper) overlooks the collective impact of factors mentioned in my last post like water quality, filter paper, and grinder, which help in attaining far greater results in the final cup verses a single dripper. But the companies selling dripper would never tell you this, plus people want to feel good about their purchase so they will naturally choose to believe these unfounded scientific claims.
