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!
