Tips for the Perfect Pour-Over Coffee
Not all coffee is the same. The taste depends on many different
factors – from the method of preparation via the utensils used
to the coffee beans themselves.
The pour-over method is particularly suitable for bringing the
best out of the valuable ingredients and
fl
avour of the particular
coffee bean and preserving it. Below we have summarised a few
of the most important basics for this preparation method.
Type of Coffee
•
Even if many factors play a role in the success of the perfect
coffee during pour-over preparation, the most important
ingredient is of course the coffee bean itself. The taste
differs according to the type of coffee, the soil on which
the coffee was grown, the growing region and the prevailing
climate, and the roasting process to which the coffee beans
were subjected.
•
With pour-over coffee the rule is: Quality beats quantity! In
particular because the coffee prepared with this technique
is best enjoyed pure, without milk or sugar, it is worthwhile
spending a little more when choosing your coffee beans. We
recommend gently roasted, light varieties, as they contain
few bitter substances and their own taste is particularly well
preserved.
