5 Steps to Master the Art of Pour-Over Coffee with Your Brewista Artisan Kettle

Whether you’re a seasoned barista or brewing your very first cup, pour-over coffee delivers clarity, sweetness, and nuance you won’t find in drip machines. With Brewista’s Artisan Precision Gooseneck Kettle in hand, you’re already halfway to a perfect brew. Here’s how to get there in five simple steps.

1. Choose Fresh, Evenly-Ground Beans

  • Why it matters: Freshness and grind size have the biggest impact on extraction.
  • Pro tip: For pour-over, aim for a medium-fine grind—similar to granulated sugar—to balance flow rate and contact time.
  • Ethical note: Source beans with transparent origins and fair-trade certifications to ensure quality and sustainability.

2. Heat to the Ideal Temperature (±1 °F Precision)

  • Brewista advantage: Our Artisan Kettle lets you set any temperature between 104 °F–212 °F with ±1 °F accuracy.
  • Flavor spotlight:
    • 195 °F–205 °F for bright, fruity origins
    • 205 °F–212 °F for darker roasts or full-body profiles
  • Step-by-step:
    • Fill kettle and select desired °F.
    • Wait for the “ready” beep before pouring.

3. Pre-Wet (Bloom) for Even Extraction

  • What is bloom? A brief initial pour (twice your coffee weight in grams) that releases CO₂ and prepares grounds to saturate evenly.
  • How to bloom:
    • Pour in a slow concentric circle for 30 – 45 seconds.
    • Watch grounds expand—this ensures no dry pockets.

4. Maintain a Controlled Pour with the Gooseneck Spout

  • Why gooseneck matters: Precision spout design gives you full control over flow rate and direction, key for consistent saturation.
  • Pour technique:
    • Keep spout close (1–2 inches) above grounds.
    • Use small, steady circles.
    • Aim to finish your total water pour at ~2:30–3:00 minutes.

5. Taste, Tweak, and Enjoy

  • Flavor cues:
    • Sour → water too cool or under-extracted
    • Bitter → water too hot or over-extracted
    • Perfect balance → just right!
  • Adjustments:
    • Grind finer for longer contact
    • Grind coarser for faster flow
    • Slightly tweak temperature by 2 – 3 °F
  • Final step: Pour into your favorite mug, savor the aroma, and share on Instagram with #BrewistaArtisan for a chance to be featured!
