FAQs
Start with a pour-over coffee maker, a compatible filter if required, a kettle, ground coffee, and a mug or carafe. A coffee scale helps you track coffee and water amounts, while a burr grinder lets you grind whole beans just before brewing.
Place the brewer over your mug or carafe, fit the appropriate filter, and add ground coffee. Wet the grounds evenly, pause briefly, then continue pouring slowly as the coffee drains. Follow your brewer’s instructions for pouring technique, and change one variable at a time as you learn your preferences.
Check the brewer’s instructions for compatible filters rather than choosing by appearance alone. Cone-shaped, flat-bottom, and other filter designs are not interchangeable across all brewers. If your coffee maker uses a reusable filter, follow its care instructions instead of adding a paper filter unless directed.
Cone-shaped brewers taper toward the bottom, while flat-bottom brewers hold the coffee bed over a level base. Each design calls for a compatible filter and may have different pouring guidance. Drain openings and interior ridges also vary, so check the brewing instructions for the design you choose.
Discard the used grounds and rinse the brewer after each use. Clean it regularly according to the manufacturer’s directions to remove coffee oils and residue. Wash reusable filters as directed, let all components dry before storing, and check the care instructions before using a dishwasher.
