The Pourover Coffee Method In Depth
With new coffee gadgets popping up all over, it’s good to understand the process behind them. Nick Cho from Serious Eats goes through the phases of pourover brewing—check out my takeaways from his article below.
- Pourover coffee constantly filters fresh hot water through the grounds for a faster brew
- As you pour, be sure to pause as the coffee grounds swell, this is to let the CO2 out—the wetting phase
- Once wetted, the hot waters starts to dissolve the tasty coffee solubles within the beans cells—stop pouring before you’re in danger of over brewing
- The diffusion phase transfers the flavors out through osmosis pressure into the water
- Tune your brewing method to you for the right grind, recipe, and brew time
