Pour Over Coffee

A Manual Brewing Method Focused on Clarity and Control

Pour over coffee is a brewing method where hot water is slowly poured over coffee grounds by hand. The water flows through the grounds and filter into a cup or carafe, creating a clean and flavorful brew.

This method is popular in specialty coffee because it gives brewers greater control over extraction, flavor balance, and clarity.
