Pour-over coffee makers & brewing gear

Start with a dripper or brewer, a compatible filter, ground coffee, hot water and a cup or server. A scale helps repeat the coffee-to-water ratio. Add a burr grinder if you use whole beans, and a gooseneck kettle if you want more control over the stream.

No. The featured 400 mL glass dripper set and 450 mL faceted ceramic set require suitable cone paper filters, sold separately. The 400/600 mL glass brewer with a reusable steel filter is designed for paperless brewing. Check the selected product’s filter shape, size and included parts before ordering.

It is useful, but not essential. A narrow spout makes small, controlled pours easier. You can start with a kettle that pours steadily. Check whether the model heats water electrically, is suitable for a stated stovetop type, or only holds water heated elsewhere.

For a manual pour-over brewer, start with a medium grind and a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio, such as 20 g of coffee to 320 g of water. Use a smaller dose for a smaller brewer. Adjust the grind gradually based on taste and drainage; the same grinder setting will not suit every brewer or coffee.

The 160 ml automatic brewer featured here requires pre-heated water. Its powered mechanism distributes the water over the grounds; it does not boil or heat it. Check its capacity and power requirements before planning a travel setup.

Choose individual pieces if you already have a suitable grinder, kettle or scale. A set can make it easier to gather equipment for a new routine or travel, but included parts vary. Review the product page and selected options to confirm the brewer, filter, grinder, kettle and case you will receive.
