Pour Over Is Worth the Effort

Pour over takes four minutes. It is worth every second.

The payoff is the cleanest cup of coffee you can make. No bitterness, no sediment. Just pure flavor.

The ritual matters too. Weighing the beans, heating the water, blooming the grounds. It is meditative.

A Hario V60 costs twenty dollars. A gooseneck kettle costs thirty. That is the whole investment.

Start simple. 15 grams of coffee, 250 grams of water. Water at 200 degrees. Pour in a slow spiral.

Pour over makes you pay attention. That attention makes better coffee.

Try it once. You will understand why people obsess.
