Helpful brew time targets

  • 2:30: quick single cup or finer small brewer recipe.
  • 3:00: common V60 starting point for one cup.
  • 3:30–4:00: larger pour-over or slower drawdown.
  • 5:00: big Chemex-style brew or coarser multi-cup recipe.

Why timing matters for pour-over coffee

A steady timer makes each brew easier to repeat. If the coffee tastes sour, try a slightly finer grind or longer contact time. If it tastes bitter or heavy, try a coarser grind, gentler pours, or a shorter drawdown.
