pourover

Slow coffee method

A pourover is coffee brewed by slowly pouring hot water over grounds in a filter, allowing it to drip into a cup or carafe below.

The method gives precise control over brewing variables like water temperature and pour rate: I'll make a pourover while you wait.

Also written pour-over or pour over.
