Drip VS Pour-Over

The perfect cup of coffee. For many people, from those who want a morning pick-me-up to coffee connoisseurs, this is the goal. To achieve this, many use traditional drip coffee makers. But even the top-rated drip coffee makers cannot do what a traditional pour over coffee maker can: which is make a beautiful, well-rounded cup of coffee.

Pour over coffee makers take out all the unnecessary bells and whistles of complicated drip coffee machines and replaces them with a quick, easy experience that makes a better cup of coffee. Rather than dumping grounds into a machine, pour over coffee makers let you measure out your coffee and pour hot water over it, allowing a brewing process that drips directly into your mug. It’s less clean up, often faster, and leaves you with a cup of coffee that you will remember.

Introducing the Ceramic Coffee Maker for Pour-Over

What makes a pour over coffee maker so much better than traditional small drip coffee makers? It’s a combination of control and simplicity. The back-to-basics approach puts you in charge. Rather than relying on intricate machinery, you get to control the entire process: the grind, the speed and the ratios.

To make the perfect pour over coffee, you start with a coarser grind, one that lets your coffee achieve a more robust flavor. Measure out the ratio, which is 2 Tbsp for every 6 oz. of water. Then slowly pour in boiling water through the coffee maker in a spiral pattern. Then wait 20 seconds. Then repeat two more times. The result: the best pour-over coffee that you will ever experience.

Drip Coffee Makers vs. Pour Over Coffee Makers

For most people in the world, their coffee comes from automatic drip coffee makers or machines. These machines offer convenience, letting you set timers, brew large pots and more. But the coffee that’s made is also noticeably less flavorful. Even a small drip coffee maker will produce a cup that isn’t quite up to standard.

While drip coffee makers do seem to offer convenience, they do so only for large groups. If you are making yourself a single cup, or two cups, then a simple ceramic pour over coffee maker can actually be more convenient. Not only will the process take less time, a pour over coffee maker is much easier to clean. It is one of the main reasons why people are choosing pour over coffee makers from Kajava Mama instead of the traditional drip machines.

How to Find the Best Pour-Over Coffee Maker

If you want a cup of coffee that exceeds your expectations, you need the best pour over coffee maker. Here is a quick guide to help you pick the right one.

The first step is the material of your pour-over coffee maker. Ceramic coffee makers are still the best available. This is, in part, because ceramic allows for maximum control while ensuring that the water poured in maintains its heat. The right ceramic pour over coffee maker will also let you hold onto the maker itself while carefully pouring the hot water. And, because of the amazing insulation of ceramic, you can keep the water hot without burning yourself.

Ceramic also lets your pour over coffee maker have specialized spiralized interiors. This, when couple with pouring the water in circles, lets the water and grinds swirl together, infusing the water with more flavor from your favorite coffee.

Finally, your ceramic coffee maker should reflect your style. That is why Kajava Mama offers the best pour over coffee makers in a number of colors. That way, you can have a beautiful cup of coffee and a beautiful new kitchen accessory all in one.
