To those unfamiliar with pour-over coffee, the final product is like that of a drip coffee maker, but with more nuance and complexity.

You’re welcome to try our take on the procedure if you’re already familiar with it. It is easy to get good at on the first try and the hundredth.

Take note of how the pouring velocity and direction of the spiral affect the taste of the final product.

What You Need To Make A Pour-over Coffee

The art of pouring coffee through a fine mesh filter in a glass carafe at a slow, steady pace. Although it’s not the most time- or cost-effective option for large-scale production, it’s ideal for showcasing the nuanced nuances of single-origin, small-batch roasts.

You’ll need coffee grounds, paper filters, a gooseneck water kettle, and a pour-over dripper to make coffee through the pour-over brewing method. Drippers are containers in the shape of a funnel used to store the filter.

Some pour-over drippers are designed to be used in conjunction with a carafe to contain the brewed coffee, while others are meant to be used in conjunction with a standard coffee cup.

How to Make Pour-over Coffee – Step-by-Step Guide

Filtered water should be brought to a boil before being transferred to a kettle with a gooseneck spout. A long, thin spout allows for more precise pouring.
Rinse the coffee filter with hot water and place it in the dripper funnel.
Pour in the necessary amount of ground coffee after grinding the beans to a medium or medium-fine consistency.
To brew, simply soak the grinds in water for 30–40 seconds. Blooming the beans is the process of releasing carbon dioxide from the soil.
Once the grounds have bloomed, softly pour hot water over the top. Move in a circle to ensure that all of the soil is soaked. When the timer goes off, the brewing procedure will have finished.
