Pour Over & Drip
Unlike pressurized espresso, pour-over coffee relies on gravity-driven percolation. Water temperature, pouring turbulence, bypass percentages, and paper porosity dictate the clarity, aroma isolation, and acid distribution in the final brew. Adjusting these parameters lets baristas highlight delicate floral and fruit compounds in single-origin beans.
