FAQs
Place a paper filter in the brewer, rinse it with hot water, add freshly ground coffee, and slowly pour hot water over the grounds in circular motions. Let the coffee drip through completely, then remove the filter and enjoy.
A medium-fine grind usually works well for pour over coffee. It should feel slightly finer than sand. If the coffee tastes weak or finishes dripping too quickly, use a finer grind. If it tastes bitter or drips very slowly, try a coarser grind.
Use the filter style made for your brewer, such as cone-shaped or flat-bottom filters. Paper filters provide a clean, bright cup and are simple to use. Rinsing the filter with hot water can reduce paper flavor and warm the brewer.
Hot water helps extract flavor from the coffee grounds, while water that is too cool can produce a flat, underdeveloped cup. Aim for water just off the boil, and pour slowly and evenly for more consistent results.
A fast brew often means the grind is too coarse, the pour is too quick, or the coffee bed is not evenly saturated. A slow brew can result from a grind that is too fine or pouring too aggressively. Adjust one variable at a time to find the best balance for your pour over coffee maker.
