Glass Pour Over Coffemaker: Elegance, ergonomics and the most delicious filter coffee you've ever tasted!

Recently, in magazines, advertisements and television series, it has dynamically made an appearance of a particularly elegant, glass coffee maker, famous for its highly aromatic coffee: these are the coffee machines used in the Pour Over extraction! 

Although the coffee machines used for extraction using the Pour Over method have gained special popularity in recent years and have been associated with the "Third Wave" of coffee, their story begins in the 1940s. Long before being identified with the culture of demanding and sought-after coffee lovers, the Pour Over coffee maker has been the most innovative coffee machine of the post-war era, but also one of the most well-designed pieces of household equipment of all time - but ultimately, it's the quality of the coffee which continues to keep it high in the public's preferences.

The history of an iconic coffee device

The first model of the famous coffee maker, with the classic hourglass shape and the characteristic wooden handle, was designed in 1941 by a German chemist, Peter Schlumbohm, who lived in the USA. Although Schlumbohm simply tried to build an easy to use handheld coffee maker that emphasized all the organoleptic characteristics of the coffee, the unique shape of its appliance, influenced by the German Bauhaus School, its incredible ergonomics and materials which he used, made his coffee maker emblematic. Since the 1950s, museums of industrial design and design from around the world have added the device to their collections, and to date it is exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Nowadays, coffee lovers are more informed and certainly more demanding than the past - no one is looking for anything less than the perfect cup of coffee. Anyone who has tried Pour Over coffee in a traditional glass coffee maker is hardly more compatible with any other filter coffee. At the same time, glass pour over coffee makers appear more and more often in movies, TV series, advertisements and magazines: it is a design object, classic and futuristic together, functional and decorative at the same time, real jewelery for every coffee equipment collection and an amazing gift for every lover of coffee.

Glass pour - over coffee makers are made of exceptional durability and quality materials such as borosilicate glass, stainless steel, bamboo wood and leather. The use of the coffee maker is particularly easy, but at the same time requires attention to detail and favors mood for experimentation. Thanks to the shape of the coffee maker, the direct contact of hot water with the ground coffee and the slow extraction, the organoleptic ingredients of the coffee are singularly emphasized and the mug becomes fragrant, deliciously complex, of particular intensity and depth - and soft and delicate at the same time. The Pour Over glass coffee maker is a device that does not require storage, since its special design makes it an ornament for any kitchen or office, and its cleaning could not be simpler since it only needs hot water and soap.

The Pour Over glass coffee maker is available in three sizes: 400 ml capacity, ideal for those who want to enjoy their coffee and make their own experiments, with a capacity of 600 ml to meet the needs of a family for breakfast and with a capacity of 800 ml , size perfectly suited to dining outlets or hotels that want to offer their customers something different.

How is coffee prepared in a Pour Over Coffee Maker?

• Put the coffee on the metal filter - calculate 10 - 13 gr of coffee / 150 ml of water, depending on how  strong you desire your coffee to be.
• Heat the water at a temperature of 90-93 degrees Celsius.
• Pour the first 20-30 ml of water until the ground coffee is wet  and bubbles appear - the pre-extraction stage will higlight the aromas of coffee.
• After the pre-extraction is complete, pour the rest of the water with circular movements, starting from the perimeter of the filter and moving to the center - repeat until the water is over.
• Grab the coffee maker from the wooden handle, stir gently with circular motions and serve the tastiest filter coffee you've ever tried!
