Spring isn't just a season—it's a mood shift. Lighter roasts start showing up, the air gets more humid, and your tap water might change temperature. For a first-time pour-over setup, that means your brew can be affected by things you didn't even think about. But don't overthink it. Spring is a great time to start because it's a fresh start, and you can build a routine from scratch.

The practical bit: If you're using a gooseneck kettle, the water might cool faster on a breezy spring morning. Keep that in mind and maybe preheat your mug. The good news is you don't need to chase perfection—just consistency.
