If you want to try and get a taste of what it's like, I _highly_ recommend Houndstooth Coffee or Patika Coffee. They both do excellent pourover coffee.
In general, with any sort of coffee, beans are at maximum flavor anywhere from 1-3 days after roasting. Grind right before you brew and with the pourover method, go slowly.
I wouldn't consider it one. Lifehacker isn't always about lifehacks and they also have good tutorials for things that some people aren't aware of. Many people I know think the only way to make coffee is with a drip coffee maker.

You might have to buy some filters and a holder for it: http://www.amazon.com/Cilio-Porcelain-Coffee-Filter-Holder/d...
