The Pour Over Coee Maker has dierent features that provide the perfect
system to brew coee.
It automatically calculates the dierent variables that are important for
brewing coee and maintains quality and consistency with each step.
The way the coee is brewed mimics the manual pour over technique which
has many benets over your standard cup of coee. The pour over method
continuously replenishes the liquid surrounding the coee grounds with
new, fresher water. The fresh water evenly wets the coee grounds and
therefore extracts more avor into the cup without the bitterness that coee
may have. The water then comes down in a pulsing water bath to ensure
steady temperature and saturation of the entire coee.
Additionally, it has a faster, more ecient brew than a standard coee maker.
The coee maker has a lter which is made of ne mesh and eliminates the
need for a paper lter and the mess that comes along with it.
The hourglass design of the glass carafe lends to the beauty and clean appear-
ance of the machine. The carafe is made of durable glass and with its heat
resistant handle, you can bring it straight to the table to serve your coee.
