Pour over coffee

Does anyone use a pour over coffee cup or pot? I'm interested in the non-electric type and what you think of them.

for example....

@Mz iMac

Gound coffee in the cone, boiling water poured over, and you get coffee.

@CalminHeart

I used a Melitta pot for years and, if my memory serves, I enjoyed the coffee. Not sure why I stopped using it, but I did. It's been a long time ago!

Mine didn't look like this, but it was the cone you filled with coffee, boiled the water, then poured it over.

Looking back, I think I wanted an autobrew pot since I was up early for work and rushing to get things done. And, I needed enough coffee to fill my husband's thermos! Didn't want to make two pots with so little time.

If you have time, though, I think they make decent coffee.

I think a French Press might give you a better cup of coffee

often. If you’ve got some time to kill the next snow day, go online and Google “pour-over coffee”.

I did that very thing last year and discovered the absolutely best fresh coffee taste. There’s just too much to talk about here but if you get online there are plenty of videos. There are coffee shops around the US that do this all the time.

One thing I did learn that was interesting if you use a paper filter, how to fold it properly to go in that funnel, and also the serious folks always rinse the filter with hot water first because it says it takes the paper taste out of it.

They also always heat their water in either glass or ceramic so it does not have a metallic taste. So the pot or container should be glass also. A lot to learn who knew.

Also I really like being able to use my own coffee instead of going the route of buying those pods. I always buy the beans and grind them myself and this is a very inexpensive way to make a single cup of coffee. This is a very common way for folks to make coffee in Europe, I have yet to see a Keurig coffee maker there, they do have coffee machines that make a single cup but the “pods” are like round teabags. Made of paper.

The Starbucks in the store I work at uses pour over for lattes etc, which I love. I learned how to make them at home and they gave me some tips.

It’s a delicious cup of coffee! I use the glass Melitta for everyday, and the china version for company. Bodum has a version of the classic Chemex carafe (Target) and the old school 3 piece aluminum pots are out there.

Pour over is very popular in coffee shops now, too.

I love mine! It makes the best coffee but it takes some patience which can be hard in the morning.

I saw the pour over a few yeara ago at a coffee specialty shop. They pour a little water in to bloom the coffee grounds. then they slow pour a few times before the whole process was completed.

I have used a single cup Melitta pour over for decades. I also used an aero press. I prefer either method over a machine.

It is an absolutely new thing. Never seen such pour over pot before. It looks pretty and attractive but how useful is it?

I do not like pour over coffee. They have it at starbucks if they run out of a flavor,. it lacks the clairty, depth and flavor of a quality tasting cup of coffee.

I have a Melitta one that is about 40 years old. It makes a very good cup of coffee. It is totally different from k cups. It takes more to do it because you do not just press a button.

I like the French press also.

You do need to go through the steps for optimum taste.

yes, i have a melitta pour over cone. (mine is brown, which i think must help with long-term appearance LOL)

my routine (before i was layed up for 5 months) was that i would make my first cuppa in the keurig (because i needed that first cup QUICK), and then i would put the tea kettle on low so that my water would be ready when it was time for my next cup and then any additional cups that i had would be made in the melitta cone.

i actually think the melitta cone makes the BEST tasting coffee, and i consider myself a coffee snob.
