Best pour over coffee makers

There’s a coffee revolution brewing as cuppa lovers move away from automated machines in favour of a slower perk.

There’s a reason why pour over coffee makers are becoming more and more popular and it's not just their ridiculously good looks. A pour over coffee maker gives you far more control when making your morning Cup of Joe, not only does this method allow you to control the temperature and flow of water but actually promotes the circulation and expansion of coffee grounds that result in a fuller bodied and more flavoursome brew.

Aside from the heightened flavour you'll gain with this style, the ritual of using a pour over coffee maker is a slower and thus more mindful way to begin your day - less rushing, more focus. And unlike your standard grey or black plastic coffee machines, pour over coffee makers offer a strong design-led aesthetic, calling on ceramic, glass, wood and metal to complete the vessel.

So how does it work? It's actually just as easy as it looks, simply pour the hot water over the coffee grounds that are placed in the funnel system, either through a paper or built in filter, and wait.

There are no doubt a plethora of options out there that will allow you to live out your world class barista fantasies but we've rounded up this year's top performers to treat your taste buds with each and every cup.
