Start with a pour over brewer, compatible paper filters, a gooseneck kettle, a coffee grinder, a digital scale, and a sturdy mug or carafe. Fresh whole bean coffee and a timer round out the setup, helping you track each step with confidence.
A gooseneck kettle gives you precise control over the water stream. That control makes it easier to wet the grounds evenly, pour in steady circles, and manage the pace of the brew.
A medium-fine grind is a practical starting point for most pour over brewers. If the water runs through too quickly, grind finer. If the brew drains very slowly or tastes harsh, grind coarser. A burr grinder helps you make these adjustments consistently.
Place the brewer and carafe on the scale, then tare it before adding coffee and water. Weighing both ingredients lets you repeat a brew and fine-tune your coffee-to-water ratio. Use the timer on the scale, or keep a separate timer nearby, to track your pour.
Check the grind first, since coffee that is too fine can slow the flow. Also make sure the filter is seated properly, the brewer is not overfilled, and you are pouring gently rather than stirring the grounds aggressively. A consistent pour and a clean brewer can help keep the flow predictable.
