Why Pour Over coffee
The Pour Over Coffee Maker has different features that provide the perfect system to brew coffee.
It automatically calculates the different variables that are important for brewing coffee and maintains quality and consistency with each step.
The way the coffee is brewed mimics the manual pour over technique which has many benefits over your standard cup of coffee. The pour over method continuously replenishes the liquid surrounding the coffee grounds with new, fresher water. The fresh water evenly wets the coffee grounds and therefore extracts more flavor into the cup without the bitterness that coffee may have. The water then comes down in a pulsing water bath to ensure steady temperature and saturation of the entire coffee.
Additionally, it has a faster, more efficient brew than a standard coffee maker.
The coffee maker has a filter which is made of fine mesh and eliminates the need for a paper filter and the mess that comes along with it.
The hourglass design of the glass carafe lends to the beauty and clean appearance of the machine. The carafe is made of durable glass and with its heat resistant handle, you can bring it straight to the table to serve your coffee.
