Coffee Gator Pour Over Coffee Maker-FAQs
How do I use the Coffee Gator Pour Over Coffee Maker?
Place a paper or reusable filter inside the dripper, add medium-fine ground coffee, and slowly pour hot water in a circular motion. Allow the coffee to bloom for 30 seconds before continuing to pour until your cup is full.
What is the correct grind size for pour over coffee?
A medium or medium-fine grind, similar to the texture of sandbox sand, works best for pour over brewing.
What is the ideal water temperature for pour over coffee?
For best results, use hot water between 195°F and 205°F (90–96°C).

The golden ratio is 1:18 (1 part coffee to 18 parts water). For a stronger taste, use 1–2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
Can I reuse coffee grounds in a pour over?
No. Once brewed, the coffee grounds lose most of their oils and flavors. Using them again will result in a weak and bitter cup.
