Benefit of Pour Over Coffee
Pour over coffee offers tremendous benefits in terms of flavor. Because by controlling grind size, water temperature and the rate of coffee extraction, you can craft a more nuanced cup, allowing you to bring out subtle notes and many flavor profiles in your coffee beans that would have otherwise gone undiscovered.

For example, if a specific coffee bean origin had natural fruit and citrus notes, a properly executed pour over would keep much of those unique flavors. The same coffee beans brewed with a French press might alter, or hide completely, these same overtones.

The other advantage of pour over coffee is that it consistently tastes excellent and fresh...cup after cup. The reason for this consistency is that you're the driver. You are the one in control of adjusting all the parameters. If done the same way every time, you get a great cup every time.

How Are They Different From Other Types of Coffee Makers?
The pour over brew method is a hands-on approach that requires you to take an active role in the brewing process. Compared to drip methods (automatic coffee makers), you can brew coffee with precision and control; customizing your brew by regulating various factors, such as temperature, flow rate, immersion, and capacity.

Because of the amount of control you have over the brewing process, you can extract more flavor from your beans, producing a tastier cup.

It is a popular way for people who truly love their morning (or afternoon) cup because they can finally have full reign over every single detail!
