What grind size should I use for pour over?

Use a medium-fine grind for pour over — similar to coarse sand or table salt. Total brew time should be 3–4 minutes. Grind finer if it drains too fast, coarser if it drains too slowly.

What is the coffee to water ratio for pour over?

Pour over uses a 1:16 ratio — 15g of coffee to 240ml of water is a standard single cup. Scale up proportionally for larger brews.

Why do you bloom pour over coffee?

Blooming allows CO2 trapped in fresh coffee to escape before the main pour. If you skip the bloom, CO2 causes uneven extraction and hollow, underdeveloped flavour.

What temperature should I use for pour over coffee?

Pour over brews best at 92–93°C (197–199°F). Lighter roasts can go up to 94°C; darker roasts benefit from 90–91°C to avoid bitterness.
