In the last year or so I’ve been getting more and more into coffee, but I’m still a student so I can’t afford all the fancy equipment and beans yet lol. After learning how to brew good coffee with my moka pot, some family members gave me a Melitta cone for pour-overs
I couldn’t find much info or techniques for this kind of brewer, only for the V60 and such, so I wanted to ask here what your opinion on the Melitta cone is. Any recommendations? So far I’m happy with the coffee I’m brewing with it, but any extra information would be appreciated
A fantastic and low cost way to get into pour over coffee. Tons of reasonably priced filters to choose from starting with the cheapest 200 pack generic at Walmart to really nice Abaca filters from Cafec with dozens of different choice in between.
Get a good entry level hand grinder like a Timemore C3, a cheap but decent kitchen scale that measures down to 0.1 grams, and goose neck kettle. If you are making coffee in a kitchen then a cheap but decent stainless steel goose neck for the stove top is perfect. If you are in a dorm room or office or something then there are some reasonably priced electric goose necks on Amazon.
Main things are getting good freshly roasted beans (preferably from a local roaster) and a decent grinder (Timemore C3 is a perfectly find starting point) to go with that filter holder.
