I have not done the ' pour over ' technique in ages
I thought it was more flash than substance
I micro my water until boiling , and am careful to make sure its not
super heated ( stir carefully after Miro's it can boil over be careful )
then add freshly ground coffee to the pyrex measuring glass container
nifty handle to take it out of the micro
and stir and let steep for 3 minutes , stir again and pour into the
filter . works well for me.
P.S.: AltonBrown Mocri's his water for drip w a chopstick in it
which takes care of super heating Sweet&Sour or OyesterBeef he never
specified.
