Coffee enthusiasts love manual pour-over brewing devices because they let you control water temperature and steeping time—both key to a good cup.
Coffee enthusiasts love manual pour-over brewing devices because they let you control water temperature and steeping time—both key to a good cup. This pour-over coffee brewer has a brewing chamber that you fill with ground coffee; you add 195- to 205-degree water and then let it steep. It uses a built-in wire mesh filter (similar to a French press) instead of paper filters. After steeping, place the carafe atop a mug to open the valve that releases the coffee (and closes when lifted from the mug’s rim). The tool produced 2½ cups of flavorful, full-bodied coffee with some sediment, just like from a French press. Using this product means that we’ll never have to worry about running out of filters—a big plus. One caveat: It won’t work with mugs wider than 3½ inches in diameter, since they won’t engage the valve to dispense the coffee.
