Hi everyone,
Lets help each other by leaving some of the best tips that you learnt while brewing

I use a v60

Tips that instantly improved the taste of my coffee:

1. A slow and gentle circular moment while pouring reduces agitation and thus improves the taste (no need to hurry with the circular moment)
2. Keeping the 2nd pour a bit agressive and 3rd pour real gentle and slow brings out more flavours
3. Iced pourover (my own recipe, similar to kurasu iced pourover recipe) tastes better than nrml hot pourover (it might be just for me, since i can drink instantly after brewing with great flavours)
4. Coffee:water ratio and time are 2 real important factors, control them for better clarity and taste
5. Not all beans can be grinded on the same click, fix time and ratio and not grind size, experiment with the size and get the required setting, usually take 1-2 brews for a new bean
6. Investing in a gooseneck kettle and grinder did made exponential change to my coffee game
7. A small gentle swirl after each pour gives out even extraction, especially after last pour
8. Brewing light roast at 93C gives out consistently good results, no need to move towards 96

I’ve been making pourovers for over a year now and I’ve learnt all these tricks while brewing. I feel like I can get what I want every time so I thought I’d share my learnings.

Happy brewing ☕️

Hey everyone!
I’m looking to buy a second-hand V60 (preferably) or any other pour-over dripper. I’m based in Bangalore, so I’d prefer buying from someone in the city for an easier pickup.
If you’re planning to upgrade your setup or have a dripper that’s no longer getting used, please DM me with the details and asking price.
Thanks! ☕

About me:
23M | B.Tech CSE | 2024 grad
↳ CAT 2025 — ~96%ile | Got calls from 2-3 Baby IIMs but didn’t join
↳ Going all in for CAT 2026

I’ve put in my papers at work and going full-time prep from next month. Doing this twice now.

Target: BLACKI + other top-tier B-schools

Looking for someone who’s on the same page — serious about the attempt, clear on the goal, and consistent with the prep.
A good and focused mindset is necessary.

Currently in Bangalore 🏙️ would love to connect IRL for group study sessions if you’re based here too!
HMU me if this resonates. Let’s lock in together!!

PS: made a really nice frnd and talked to a lot of peeps from this subreddit last year

Edit1: Not creating a study group, just want someone to share things with.
