The Best Gear for Making Pour-Over Coffee

There’s a reason pour-over is the preferred brewing method at high-end cafés: It’s a simple way to make coffee with intricate flavors that you might not get from a machine. For the best results, start with a good dripper. After brewing more than 150 cups, we found the Kalita Wave 185 Dripper to be the most consistent and easy to master. If you want to brew a truly great cup, we also recommend a grinder, kettle, and scale.
