A pour-over setup is a method for brewing coffee that involves manually pouring hot water over coffee grounds. This technique allows for greater control over the brewing process, resulting in a more flavorful cup. The setup typically includes a dripper, a filter, and a carafe or mug to catch the brewed coffee. To use a pour-over setup, start by placing a filter in the dripper and adding ground coffee. Heat water to just below boiling, then slowly pour it over the grounds in a circular motion. This ensures even saturation and extraction, leading to a well-balanced brew.
