The Pour-Over Coffee method is one of the most beloved brewing styles among coffee enthusiasts.
It involves manually pouring hot water over freshly ground coffee, allowing it to drip through a paper filter for a crisp, aromatic, and well-balanced cup.
Unlike machine brewing, pour-over gives you full control over the pouring speed, temperature, and saturation — turning every brew into a mindful, flavorful experience.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 20 g medium-ground coffee
- 320 ml hot water (about 93°C / 200°F)
🛠️ Equipment
- Pour-over dripper (like V60, Kalita Wave, or Origami)
- Paper filter
- Gooseneck kettle
- Scale and timer
- Mug or carafe
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Prepare the Filter and Dripper
Place the paper filter into your dripper and set it on top of your mug or carafe.
Rinse the filter with hot water to remove any paper taste and to warm up your dripper.
Discard the rinse water.
2. Add the Coffee
Place 20 grams of medium-ground coffee into the filter.
Shake the dripper gently to level the grounds for even extraction.
3. Bloom the Coffee
Start by pouring 40–50 ml of hot water over the grounds to saturate them evenly.
Let it sit for 30–40 seconds to allow carbon dioxide to escape — this step is called blooming and improves flavor clarity.
4. Continue Pouring
After the bloom, pour the rest of the water slowly in small, circular motions.
Pour steadily and evenly, avoiding direct contact with the paper filter.
The full brewing time should take about 2½ to 3 minutes.
5. Let It Drain
Allow the water to pass completely through the coffee bed.
Once dripping stops, remove the dripper and discard the filter.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Swirl your coffee gently to mix the layers before serving.
Enjoy your pour-over — clean, balanced, and bursting with subtle flavors.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Pour-Over Coffee
- Use freshly ground coffee — freshness defines aroma and sweetness.
- Keep the pouring slow and steady for consistent extraction.
- Maintain water temperature between 90–94°C (195–202°F).
- Adjust grind size: finer for slower brews, coarser for faster.
- Experiment with different drippers — V60 gives clarity, Kalita gives body.
