FAQ About Coffee Brewing
What is the difference between a pour-over and a drip coffee maker?
The main difference between a pour-over and a drip coffee maker is the brewing process.
A pour-over is a manual brewing method that involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter cone or dripper. The water is poured in a slow and controlled manner, allowing the grounds to bloom and extracting the coffee flavor. Pour-over coffee typically produces a cleaner and more nuanced flavor profile, with a lighter body compared to a drip coffee maker.
On the other hand, a drip coffee maker is an automatic brewing method that involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter basket. The water is dripped through the grounds and filter and into a carafe, where the coffee is collected. Drip coffee makers typically produce a milder and more filtered cup of coffee, with a more consistent taste and body compared to a pour-over.
