How to make the best pour over coffee. Pour-over coffee is easy; not as easy as French Press coffee, or a Mr. Coffee type coffee maker, but it requires minimal equipment to get the job done. All you need to make pour over coffee is coffee, hot water, a filter, a funnel, and a coffee carafe or thermos.

Cool.
🎉🎉
I make coffee like this, too. A coffee maker would take up yet even more space on my shrinking countertop. Blue Mountain? I am soooooo impressed. The closest I got to brewing Blue Mountain coffee was when I got a bag of copycat Blue Mountain beans from Zabar’s.
Cookies in the morning an energy bar😂
I could use some of this energy this morning.
We make pour-over coffee in our house a cup at a time. We do use those fancy dedicated filter cones with coffee filters. We like Community chicory coffee, so we don't grind beans here. I did grind my coffee for awhile decades ago when it was all the rage, but I got over it. 8^)
That's some very fancy coffee ya got there.
How are you liking the flavor of the glue from the brown paper filter in your coffee????
Also, is your funnel "food safe" or are you getting a big dose of benzene each time you pour hot liquid through it?
After having been a coffee snob for decades I finally realized that junk is added to coffee every time a brown paper filter is used that isn't rinsed out with hot water before hand. So I'm passing on the way to get an even better more pure flavor to people who think, like I used to, they know how to make the best pour over coffee using dry paper filters right out of the box.
So, if you want pure coffee flavor that is NOT mixed with a lot of glue and coloring from the brown paper coffee filter, first rinse away the glue by pouring some boiling or just under boiling hot water through just the filter. Make sure to pour it on all sides of the inside of the filter to keep the filter open and let the brown water drip into a container so you can discard the brown water. (I use a glass jar with a little cold water in the bottom of the jar to prevent the glass from possibly cracking from the hot water.) After that is done THEN move the rinsed clean brown filter and holder to the carafe and add the ground coffee to the wet clean filter and pour over the hot water. Or in your case, pour the already filtered french pressed coffee through the now much cleaner brown paper filter into the thermos carafe,
Better yet, if you have a french press, why are you bothering with the funnel and the paper filter at all? I would not even bother with this step. Just pour the hot coffee from the french press into the measuring cup for easier pouring and then into the carafe. There is no need to use a paper filter or plastic non-food safe funnel at all. The french press has a built in filter which is part of the "press".
You teach me many things. You are a Coffee expert. I have not ever heard of pour over coffee and I'm as old as your mother. Due to age, coffee is no longer my friend. I still drink it at times cause I love it so. Thank you Chef Buck.
I need to dig out my French Press… I haven't seen it in a couple months!
I’m not sure I can achieve the strength of coffee I like using this method. I found Aero Press is much better than i anticipated, efficient, little mess if any and because it uses trapped air to push it through faster it does actually temper the bitterness caused by heat and kinda stewing.
Always enjoy Buck’s tips and humour regardless
Or just buy a 9$ Mr Coffee and let it make your pour over
Pour over coffee is the way I've rolled my entire life. We have the French press too but end up not using it much. We actually use the European machine that has the carafe and it heats the water in the water reservoir itself. We also have a Japanese set with special filter paper. The coffee grinds work great as great compost nitrate / fertilizer manager in the garden.
One thing I learned that really improves pour over coffee is letting the ground coffee "bloom". Just pour a bit of the hot water on the coffee and wait 10-20 seconds for the coffee to soak up the water and develop a bit of aroma. You can see the coffee produce some bubbles and soak up the water. That way the water doesnt just run through the coffee and the extraction gets better. Also depends on how coarse or fine you grind your coffee. Experiment what works best for you. Personally I really like pour over because it's fast, easy and leaves a lot in your hands.
You guys just crack me up!
I used a plastic 1-serving Melitta pour-over cone when I was living in my RV, because I could still make coffee while "dry camping" without a 110-volt hookup. And it was much easier to pack up for travel than a coffee maker with a glass carafe. I've continued to use that same cone since I came off the road into an apartment in 2018. The counter space a coffee maker would occupy, holds an electric kettle instead.
I know what you mean about having too fine a grind, because it just becomes impassable mud in the bottom of the filter. I have to stand there and rattle the cone to get the last 2 inches of water to go down.
Enjoy your fancy-shmancy coffee, Mon!
Unless it's a £50 bag, anything in a burlap bag is more expensive than a regular bag or box. I bought some lentils on Amazon, and they came in a burlap bag, and they were about three times the cost from Walmart. I know what you mean about the French press I bought a stainless steel one a while back because my glass ones kept breaking and it's been great. That fancy Blue Mountain coffee wouldn't be good for me 'cause I would just ruin it by making iced coffee in the morning.
Looks like a delicious cup of coffee
