• A minimalist pour-over routine focuses on repeatable steps and clean storage. By keeping equipment minimal and following a consistent setup and teardown, you reduce clutter and ensure your coffee tastes fresh every time. The key is to dial in your ratio and water temperature, then maintain your gear properly.
• Use a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio for a balanced cup.
• Always heat water to 200°F (93°C) for optimal extraction.
• Clean and dry all components after each use to prevent stale flavors.
• Store filters and beans in airtight containers away from light and heat.
