Pour over
How to Make Pour Over CoffeeThe method is four pours and a timer. What makes it hard is that every one of them has to land in the same place, which is the one thing a recipe cannot write down for you.
Flat Bed vs Cone: What the Shape of a Dripper ChangesA cone concentrates the coffee in the middle and drains fast. A flat bed spreads it evenly and drains slow. That one difference decides how much your pour has to be right.
Paper Coffee Filters: Types, Sizes and Which to BuyCone or basket, white or brown, thick or thin: the right paper filter depends on the brewer, and the wrong one overflows, tears or changes the taste.
Chemex vs V60: Which Pour Over Brewer to BuyBoth are cone-shaped pour over brewers, and both make clean filter coffee. The Chemex is a glass carafe with thick filters that makes several cups at once; the V60 is a dripper with thin paper and a big hole that rewards a careful pour.
