To start, we followed the manufacturer's instructions to make the cup. The directions said to use 20 ounces of water with 3 to 5 tablespoons of ground coffee. We used 24 grams, ground to a medium coarseness, with 8 ounces of coffee, which comes out to one cup. We heated the water in a\u00a0gooseneck kettle to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\r\nThe instructions were very clear, dictating that you wet the grounds with about half a cup of hot water and watch them rise. This is also called blooming, a process when the grounds release carbon dioxide for a smoother cup of coffee. Once the coffee has bloomed, start at the center and move outward, pouring in the remaining hot water in a circular motion. This is a pretty standard way to make pour-over coffee. After about three to four minutes, the coffee should be done. You can remove the pour-over and enjoy.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMaking coffee with the Stanley pour-over was especially simple because there wasn't a filter to prime. The unit has water-measuring lines inside, which is helpful when filling a thermos, and while a metal tab is used as a handle, it wasn't hot to the touch.\r\n\r\nThe end result was a very robust cup of coffee, which our team ranked as very strong. It was slightly bitter, as to be expected at that strength. A few minuscule grounds snuck into the mug\u2014something that happened with many of the units we tested\u2014and the temperature had dropped by 61 degrees to 139 degrees. Overall, we were impressed. It would certainly perk you up if you were making it after a night of camping.\r\n\r\nThis Stanley pour-over is very easy to hand-wash. The filter unscrews, so it's simple to rinse out all the grounds, and then you can wipe down the interior. It's also dishwasher safe.\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"This Stanley pour-over has a unique filter system compared to the others we tested. It cleans up easily and brews a decent amount of coffee, enough to fill a 20-ounce thermos in one brew.\" name=\"Sheri Kaz\" title=\"Product tester\" \/]\r\n
Stanley recommends using a medium grind for their pour-over, so we used 24 grams of medium ground beans for 20 ounces of water.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It depends on what type of coffee<\/a> you like\u2014some caffeine drinkers adore the time and process of using their pour-over, but it can be too lengthy and hands-on of a process for others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n When using this method, you adjust the taste of your coffee by dividing the water in the brew in a 4:6 ratio. This means that the first 40% of water used will alter the sweetness and acidity of the coffee, while the latter 60% will modify the strength.<\/p>\r\n\r\n If you’re a caffeine lover who dreams of the outdoors, this Stanley pour-over coffee maker is perfect for your next camping trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6879,"featured_media":2097808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[341575,303868],"categories-v2":[341632,308467],"coauthors":[51494],"acf":{"long_pin_file":false,"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"ncv_moat_option":""},"yoast_head":"\n Kim is a writer and creative strategist with more than a decade of experience publishing content about food and drink.

is the 4:6 pour-over method?<\/h3>\r\n
Why You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\nOur expert Product Testing team put various pour-overs to the test. Each was tested in the same way, with the end result determining which made the smoothest, most flavorful cup of coffee. We followed the manufacturer's instructions\u2014as that's what the average consumer would do\u2014and noted how the cup of coffee tasted, how strong it was and how well it maintained its temperature after it was brewed. In addition to the Stanley pour-over, we also tested models from top-rated brands like Origami and Chemex<\/a>.\r\n\r\nI'm a frequent writer of product reviews and gift guides, including those that feature coffee, and I'm an even more frequent coffee drinker. I drink pour-over coffee at home, and with so many options out there, I'm always searching for products that live up to the hype and deliver the most value.\r\n\r\nMelissa Lee, Content Updates Editor at Taste Recipes<\/em>, updated and contributed to this piece.
