Brewing Pourover

Takes practice. Rewards it.

The Hario V60 is the gold standard of pour over. Hot water poured slowly over grounds in a cone-shaped dripper produces an incredibly clean, nuanced cup that highlights the true character of the bean.

What to look for: Pour over is all about clarity and complexity. It strips away heaviness and showcases subtle flavour notes. Single origins are the natural choice — the cleaner the coffee, the more it rewards you.

1. Ethiopia Smooth & Fragrant

   There's a reason Ethiopia is the go-to single origin for V60 enthusiasts worldwide. Floral, fragrant and silky smooth — a cup so good you'll drink it slowly just to make it last.

2. Colombia Full Bodied & Rich

   Beans from Huila, Tolima, Cauca and Nariño — complex, floral and aromatic, everything you want from a pour over. The infrared roast gives a clean, low-acidity profile that pours beautifully.

   Smooth, nutty and chocolatey with a subtle sweetness. The V60 highlights the clean, organic character of these Andean beans perfectly.
