How to brew pour over coffee step by step
Rinse the filter, add the grounds and make a small well in the centre. Bloom with 45 g water. At 40 seconds, pour in slow circles to 150 g, pause briefly, then continue to 240 g. Keep the water level steady and avoid pouring directly onto the paper.
- A flat coffee bed usually signals a more even pour.
- A fast, sour cup needs a finer grind.

Quick answers
What is the best pour over coffee ratio?
Start with 15 g coffee to 240 g water, a 1:16 ratio. It gives a balanced cup and is easy to scale. Use 20 g coffee with 320 g water for a larger serving.
What grind size is best for V60 pour over?
Use a medium-fine grind, finer than French Press and slightly coarser than table salt. Grind finer if the brew runs fast and tastes sour. Grind coarser if it runs slowly and tastes dry or bitter.
Do I need a gooseneck kettle for pour over?
It helps you control flow and placement, but you can begin with a regular kettle. Pour slowly, keep the stream gentle and avoid flooding the filter.
