Collection: Pour Over

Why pour over gear matters

Pour over coffee is brewed by slowly pouring hot water over ground coffee in a filter, allowing gravity to draw the brew through at a controlled pace. This method highlights clarity, acidity, and aroma, making it ideal for showcasing single‑origin coffees and lighter roasts.
The right pour over gear—consistent grinder, suitable dripper, quality filters, and a stable kettle—helps you control flow rate, contact time, and extraction, turning what could be a fickle method into a repeatable, enjoyable ritual.

What you get with Coffee Plus pour over gear

The pour over gear in this Coffee Plus collection covers everything needed for a manual filter setup. You’ll find classic cone drippers like Hario‑style brewers, flat‑bottom drippers inspired by Kalita Wave, and versatile designs that can use multiple filter types for different cup profiles.
Supporting gear includes paper and reusable filters sized for popular drippers, gooseneck kettles for controlled pouring, carafes and servers, and coffee scales with timers to keep your ratios and brew times consistent. Together, these tools give you both the finesse and the consistency to brew pour over coffee at a high level.

How to choose the right pour over gear

Start with the dripper. Conical drippers (like V60‑style brewers) tend to produce brighter cups with more pronounced acidity but demand a bit more technique, while flat‑bottom drippers (like Kalita‑style) are generally more forgiving and often yield a slightly fuller body.
Next, focus on filters and size. Use filters matched to your dripper (cone, flat‑bottom, or wave) and pick sizes based on how much you typically brew—single‑cup brewers for solo mugs, larger drippers for sharing or batch brews. Thicker filters (like Chemex‑style) can emphasise clarity; thinner ones drain faster and may show more body.
Finally, consider your kettle and scale. A gooseneck kettle makes it much easier to pour slowly and evenly, and a digital scale with a timer lets you hit your target ratio and pour schedule every time. These two pieces are what turn pour over from guesswork into a reliable, repeatable method.

How to use pour over gear

A typical pour over recipe starts with a medium or medium‑fine grind and a ratio around 1:15 to 1:17 coffee to water by weight. After rinsing the paper filter to remove paper taste and preheating your brewer, add freshly ground coffee, start your timer, and pour a small amount of water for the bloom—usually about twice the coffee weight.
After 30–45 seconds, continue pouring in slow, controlled circles, keeping the water level steady and avoiding direct pours onto the filter walls. Total brew time usually falls between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes, depending on your dripper, grind size, and recipe; adjustments to grind and pour speed will fine‑tune flavour and balance.

Shop by level and use

Beginner pour over setup
Choose a forgiving dripper (often a flat‑bottom or slower cone), matched filters, a simple gooseneck kettle, and a basic coffee scale. This is ideal if you’re new to manual brewing and want a clean, flavourful cup without a steep learning curve.

Enthusiast home bar
Upgrade to multiple drippers (for example, V60‑style and Kalita‑style), premium filters, a higher‑precision kettle, and a more advanced scale. This setup suits home baristas who like to explore different beans, adjust variables, and taste how gear changes the cup.

Competition & pro‑level gear
Look at high‑end drippers, competition‑grade kettles, and lab‑style scales that offer ultra‑fine control over flow and timing. This tier is perfect for professionals, trainers, and serious hobbyists who treat pour over as a craft and want maximum consistency for cuppings, service, and education.
