POUR OVER
SUITED FOR: FILTER
Pour over brewing is a simple, precise method that brings out the clarity and nuance of your coffee. By manually pouring water over a bed of coffee, you control the flow rate, temperature, and extraction — allowing delicate flavours and origin characteristics to shine.
This method is ideal for showcasing single origin coffees, and offers a clean, balanced cup with a smooth finish. Whether you're using a V60, Origami, or another dripper, this guide will help you brew with consistency and confidence.
