Perfecting the Pour Over: Unlocking the Art of Brewing Excellence

Pour over coffee is more than a brewing method—it's a ritual. For those seeking precision, flavor clarity, and a deeper connection to their cup, the pour over method offers a beautiful way to unlock the nuances of specialty coffee beans.

Why Choose Pour Over?

The pour over method gives you total control over water temperature, brew time, and flow rate. This method enhances the clarity of your coffee, letting the origin and roast profile shine.

Using a paper filter or metal mesh filter, you’re able to brew a clean cup that highlights tasting notes often lost in other methods.

Learn more about the pour over method from barista professionals worldwide.

Getting Started

You'll need:

• A pour over dripper (like a V60 or Chemex)

• Filter (paper or reusable)

• Freshly ground coffee (medium-fine)

• Kettle with a gooseneck spout

• Scale and timer

Start with a 1:16 ratio—1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water. Bloom your grounds for 30 seconds, then continue to pour in slow, circular motions.

Tips for Brewing Better

• Use filtered water at 195–205°F.

• Pre-wet your filter to eliminate paper taste.

• Use a consistent grind size.

• Practice patience—good coffee takes intention.
