In this helpful video, the presenter discusses three common mistakes that coffee enthusiasts make when brewing pour overs. The first mistake is not rinsing the paper filter, which can result in a weird taste in the coffee. Rinsing the filter not only removes the paper taste but also helps stick the filter to the dripper and preheats the brewer. The second mistake is using the wrong grind size. A coarser grind leads to a diluted and flavorless cup, while a finer grind results in a bitter experience. Finding the right grind size depends on personal preference and the beans being used. Lastly, using measuring cups instead of a scale is a common mistake. Measuring cups can be misleading and prevent consistency in brewing. Using a scale to weigh the beans, ground coffee, and water is crucial for achieving a consistently good pour over.
