There is something special about making coffee at home. The quiet sound of water heating, the rich aroma of freshly ground beans, and the slow pour that turns simple ingredients into a beautiful cup all create a small daily ritual worth savoring. With our reusable, stainless steel, ultra-fine mesh pour over filter, that ritual becomes even more rewarding.

How to Brew the Perfect Pour Over

1. Boil the Water
After boiling, let it sit for one minute. Waiting a minute before pouring can help with keep bitterness down. If you want to measure, aim for 195°F (90°C) for dark roasts and 205°F (96°C) for light roasts.

2. Grind Your Beans
Grind fresh (We recommend a medium coarse grind, as store ground tends to drip through too slowly). Use a 1:15–1:17 coffee-to-water ratio. For a 16oz jar, use about 1 ounce (5 tablespoons) of ground coffee.

3. Prep the Filter
Place the stainless steel filter on your Mason jar or mug. Optional: rinse with hot water to preheat.

4. Add the Grounds
Scoop grounds into the filter and level them.

5. Let It Bloom
Pour just enough water to wet the grounds. Wait 30 seconds.

6. Pour Slowly
Continue pouring in slow, steady circles from the center outward.

7. Enjoy
Once dripping stops, remove the filter, compost the grounds, and rinse. Easy.


Making your coffee at home offers you complete control over flavor, strength, and freshness. When you brew your own pour over, you can adjust the grind size, experiment with different beans, and fine-tune your coffee-to-water ratio until the cup tastes exactly the way you like it. Unlike paper filters, which absorb many of the flavorful oils and aromatic compounds found in freshly brewed coffee, metal filters allow those elements to pass through into the cup. This results in a tastier, fuller, more nuanced cup of coffee, with no papery aftertaste.

Beyond better tasting coffee, metal filters are also a more sustainable option for daily brewing. Paper filters create unnecessary waste and require constant repurchasing. Over time, those small purchases add up financially and environmentally. Metal filters are reusable and can last for years with proper care.

Stainless Steel Pour Over Filter Care:

Over time, natural coffee oils may clog the ultra-fine mesh. If you notice slower draining, try one of these cleaning methods:

• Dishwasher: Run it through a dishwasher cycle to remove buildup.
• Vinegar Soak: You can alternatively soak the filter in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar for about 30 minutes. After soaking, gently scrub it with a soft brush to remove any residue. You can also cover the filter with a baking soda paste before submerging it into the solution.
• Boil: You can boil the filter in water. This will help melt any oils that may be clogging it, allowing them to collect on the surface of the water. Just be sure to handle the hot metal carefully.

Simple brewing removes the barrier between you and a great cup, making it easier to choose quality every day. When the process is straightforward and reliable, coffee becomes less of a task and more of a comfort. Good coffee at home should feel effortless, not intimidating, and when it is this easy to brew, it becomes a daily pleasure you can look forward to.
