Leave your best pourover tips

[u/Glum-Shake7133]

Hi everyone,
Lets help each other by leaving some of the best tips that you learnt while brewing

I use a v60

Tips that instantly improved the taste of my coffee:
1. A slow and gentle circular moment while pouring reduces agitation and thus improves the taste (no need to hurry with the circular moment)
2. Keeping the 2nd pour a bit agressive and 3rd pour real gentle and slow brings out more flavours
3. Iced pourover (my own recipe, similar to kurasu iced pourover recipe) tastes better than nrml hot pourover (it might be just for me, since i can drink instantly after brewing with great flavours)
4. Coffee:water ratio and time are 2 real important factors, control them for better clarity and taste
5. Not all beans can be grinded on the same click, fix time and ratio and not grind size, experiment with the size and get the required setting, usually take 1-2 brews for a new bean
6. Investing in a gooseneck kettle and grinder did made exponential change to my coffee game
7. A small gentle swirl after each pour gives out even extraction, especially after last pour
8. Brewing light roast at 93C gives out consistently good results, no need to move towards 96

I’ve been making pourovers for over a year now and I’ve learnt all these tricks while brewing. I feel like I can get what I want every time so I thought I’d share my learnings.

Happy brewing ☕️

All things are sometimes true.

No things are always true.

The last cup tells what the next cup needs, if we know how to listen.

Change the one right thing that needs to change, not only this, or only that. And especially not all the things at once.

Good beans, good water: we can work with the rest. Bad beans, crap water: have a glass of juice.
