Pour-over coffee is a fairly simple method that brings out the drink's intricate flavors in. Not to mention the makers are small, so they don’t take up a ton of counter space. They’re also super-affordable compared to espresso machines and single-serve brewers. Whether you’re a pour-over first-timer or have been doing it for years and want to try out a new one, these pour-over coffee makers are some of the best to invest in.
Reviewers swear by the heat-resistant Kalita Wave Pour-Over Coffee Dripper. Its design reduces the contact between the brewing space and filter for a more balanced extraction and a flavorful cup.
The Stanley Classic Perfect-Brew Pour-Over Set is especially handy for people who love camping. It has an easy-to-clean reusable filter, and the coffee drips straight into a heat-retaining mug (that also comes with a lid), so you can simply remove the pour-over and enjoy the coffee right away.
Pour-over beginners will love the super-simple Bee House Ceramic Coffee Dripper. You can use it with any standard cone coffee filter, so it's ideal if you want a convenient option that'll make a smooth cup. Plus, it comes in a few colors.
Need to make several cups of coffee at once? The Chemex is a good choice. It can make up to six cups at a time, so it's as practical as it is stunning to look at.
A bit more expertise is needed for the Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper. It requires attention to the rate and aim of your pour because the single hole can change the coffee's taste based on the water flow. The device's cone shape also brings out floral and fruity notes in coffees that have them.
For the most hassle-free pour-over experience, an auto-drip pour-over maker—like the OXO Brew Pour-Over Coffee Maker—is the way to go. It has a tank that controls the water-flow rate for a consistent, well-balanced brew. It also has measurement markings up to 12 ounces, so you know exactly how much water to add.
