Making pour-over coffee just got easier and more effective. Recent research reveals that the strength of your brew can be enhanced by adjusting your pouring technique, without needing expensive equipment or more coffee grounds.
• Pouring hot water slowly increases the contact time with the coffee grounds.
• Pouring from a greater height improves mixing, leading to better extraction of flavors.
• An unbroken jet of water is essential to disturb the coffee bed properly.
• Reducing the amount of coffee grounds by about 10% can also enhance the flavor when using this method.
This research is significant as it provides a practical solution to coffee lovers seeking stronger brews without wasting coffee. As climate change affects coffee production, these techniques allow for a more efficient use of coffee grounds. By applying these simple adjustments, anyone can enjoy a richer coffee experience while being mindful of resources.
