A Cozy Family Breakfast Tip - Did You Use Pour Over Coffee Maker?
A Cozy Family Breakfast: Brewing Coffee with a Pour Over Coffee Maker
There’s something magical about starting the day with a warm cup of coffee, especially when it’s shared with family. In our home, breakfast is more than just a meal—it’s a ritual. And at the heart of this ritual is our trusty Pour Over Coffee Maker. If you’re looking to elevate your morning routine, let me share how we brew the perfect cup of coffee using a glass pour over coffee maker with a stainless steel filter, and why it’s become a family favorite.
Why We Love Our Pour Over Coffee Maker
When it comes to making coffee, we’ve tried it all—drip machines, French presses, and even single-serve pods. But nothing compares to the simplicity and flavor of a pour over coffee maker. Here’s why:
Better Taste: The stainless steel filter allows the coffee oils to pass through, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup compared to paper filters.
Eco-Friendly: With a reusable stainless steel filter, we’ve eliminated the waste of paper filters, making it a sustainable choice for our household.
Aesthetic Appeal: Our transparent glass coffee pot not only looks elegant on the counter but also lets us see the brewing process, which is oddly satisfying.
Our Morning Coffee Routine
Every morning, we gather around the kitchen counter, and the coffee-making process begins. Here’s how we do it:
Heat the Water: We start by boiling water in our kettle. The ideal temperature for brewing coffee is around 195°F to 205°F.
Grind the Beans: Freshly ground coffee beans make all the difference. We use a manual coffee grinder to achieve a medium-coarse grind, perfect for pour over brewing.
Set Up the Pour Over: We place the glass pour over coffee pot on the counter and insert the reusable stainless steel filter. The wooden neck adds a rustic touch to our setup.
Brew and Pour: After rinsing the filter with hot water, we add the coffee grounds and slowly pour the water in a circular motion. The aroma fills the kitchen, signaling that breakfast is almost ready.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the coffee is brewed, we pour it into individual cups for each family member. The wood neck drip pot makes it easy to serve, and the stainless steel filter ensures a smooth, sediment-free cup.
Why a Glass Coffee Pot is Perfect for Family Breakfasts
Our transparent glass coffee pot isn’t just a pretty addition to our kitchen—it’s practical too. Here’s why it works so well for family breakfasts:
Easy to Clean: The glass pour over coffee brewer is dishwasher-safe, making cleanup a breeze.
Durable Design: Made from high-quality glass and stainless steel, it’s built to last.
Tips for the Perfect Family Coffee Experience
Choose Quality Beans: Invest in high-quality coffee beans for the best flavor. We prefer medium-roast beans for a balanced taste.
Personalize Each Cup: Let family members customize their coffee with milk, cream, or sweeteners. It’s a fun way to make everyone feel included.
Make It a Ritual: Turn coffee-making into a family activity. Even the kids can help by grinding the beans or pouring the water. Kids love this cute & vintage manual coffee grinder with wooden base, and exercise their hands-on skills.
