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.
