Pour-over is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to brew coffee at home. With just a V60 dripper, a paper filter, freshly ground beans, and hot water, you can make a clean, flavorful cup that highlights the character of your coffee. This guide walks you through the whole process — from measuring and grinding to the bloom and the final pour — so you can get a consistent, delicious brew every morning. No fancy machine required, just a scale, a kettle, and a little patience.

1
Step 11 of 6
Gather your gear and ingredients. You'll need: a V60 dripper, a paper filter, a carafe or mug, a kitchen scale, a gooseneck kettle (or any kettle), 18g of coffee beans, and 300g of water. A 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio is a great starting point.

Step 22 of 6
Boil your water and let it settle to about 92–96°C (198–205°F). While it heats, place the paper filter in the V60 and rinse it thoroughly with hot water. This removes any papery taste and pre-warms your dripper and mug. Discard the rinse water.

Step 33 of 6
Grind your 18g of coffee to a medium consistency, similar to table salt. Add the grounds to the filter and give the dripper a gentle shake to level the coffee bed. Place everything on your scale and tare it to zero.

Step 44 of 6
The bloom: start your timer and pour just 50–60g of water, enough to saturate all the grounds evenly. You'll see the coffee bubble and expand as it releases trapped carbon dioxide. Let it bloom for 30–45 seconds. This step is key to an even, flavorful extraction.

Step 55 of 6
Continue pouring in slow, steady circles, starting from the center and spiraling outward, then back to the center. Pour in stages, letting the water level drop a little between pours, until you reach a total of 300g. Aim to finish all your pours by around 2:30 on the timer.

Step 66 of 6
Let the coffee finish dripping — the total brew time should be around 3:00 to 3:30. The spent bed should look flat and even. Remove the dripper, give your cup a gentle swirl, and enjoy. If it tastes sour or weak, grind finer next time; if it's bitter, grind coarser. Adjust and make it your own!
