Pour Over

Pour-over is a manual brewing method where hot water is poured over coffee grounds in a filter, allowing gravity to pull the water through. It offers precise control over water flow, temperature, and brew time. Popular pour-over devices include the Hario V60, Kalita Wave, and Chemex. Pour-over produces a clean, bright cup of coffee that highlights origin characteristics and allows for nuanced flavor extraction. The method requires a gooseneck kettle for controlled pouring, medium-fine grind, and typically takes 3-4 minutes. It's favored by specialty coffee enthusiasts for its ability to showcase coffee's complexity and clarity.
