POUR OVER Meaning and
Definition
-
"Pour over" refers to a method of making coffee, which involves pouring hot water over freshly ground coffee beans in a controlled and deliberate manner. This technique typically involves a manual process rather than an automatic coffee maker.
When making pour over coffee, the first step is usually to prepare the coffee filters by placing them in the pour over device, typically a cone or a dripper. Next, the user measures and grinds the desired amount of coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, ensuring a balanced extraction. The ground coffee is carefully placed into the filter, and the entire setup is positioned on top of a coffee cup or server.
Once the preparations are complete, hot water—typically at a temperature between 195-205°F (90-96°C)—is poured over the coffee grounds in a slow, circular motion, allowing it to slowly drip through the filter into the cup. This pouring technique helps to evenly saturate the coffee grounds, allowing for a more consistent and thorough extraction of flavor and aroma. The process is often done in small batches to ensure optimal brewing.
Pour over coffee is known for producing a clean and nuanced cup of coffee, highlighting the unique flavors and characteristics of the beans used. It allows for control over variables such as water temperature, flow rate, and coffee-to-water ratio, allowing coffee enthusiasts to experiment and personalize their brewing process based on their preferences. Overall, pour over is regarded as a method that brings out the best flavors in specialty coffees.

Etymology of POUR OVER
The word "pour over" has its roots in Old French and Latin.
The term "pour" comes from the Old French word "puor", which means "to deliver, to set forth, or to flow". This word can be traced back to the Latin word "porrum", meaning "leek", which was used metaphorically to represent something that sticks out or extends.
The word "over" is derived from the Old English word "ofer", which means "above, beyond, or across".
Combined, the phrase "pour over" refers to the act of pouring a liquid over something, often used in cooking or brewing processes. Over time, it has also been adapted to describe a specific coffee brewing method where hot water is poured over coffee grounds in a slow, steady, and controlled manner to extract flavor.
