The Art of the Blue Bottle Pour Over

The ritual of the pour over is a meditation. No machine in your way, no flashing green lights, no electric power cords.

This guide teaches you the same brew theory and proprietary technique we teach our baristas, so you can achieve cafe-quality pour overs at home. It offers a brief history of our method, which has evolved over the years as we continue to master the technique. It also includes a more basic method for beginners and an introduction to the art of tasting and evaluating good coffee.

If you’re used to a drip machine, brewing pour over coffee is like switching from a butter knife to a Japanese cleaver: The coffee comes out clearer, cleaner, more fundamentally itself.
