When it comes to pour over coffee, precision isn’t just a preference—it’s the foundation of a great cup. From dose to drip time, every variable matters. That’s where a high-performance coffee scale like the MANTABREW WeighMaster comes in. Designed for coffee lovers who crave control, this scale combines real-time weight, timer, and flow rate display—all on a clean, flip-screen interface.

Ready to level up your brew game? Here are 5 essential tips to get better pour over results using your coffee scale.

☕ 1. Use the Scale to Measure Coffee Beans Precisely

Spoon measurements are inconsistent. Instead, weigh your beans for accuracy. Start with a coffee-to-water ratio between 1:15 and 1:17. For example, 18g of coffee to 270g of water typically yields a balanced and nuanced brew.

The MANTABREW WeighMaster offers 0.1g precision, ensuring your dose is spot-on every time—crucial for repeatable results.

☕ 2. Weigh Your Brewing Water in Real Time

Over-pouring is a common mistake. Use the scale to track how much water you've added, in real time. This ensures you stay within your target brew ratio without needing to guess.

The WeighMaster’s live flow tracking and dual display make it easy to monitor both water weight and speed, helping you hit your numbers consistently.

☕ 3. Master the Bloom – Time and Weight Matter

The bloom phase allows gas to escape from fresh grounds, setting the stage for even extraction. To do it right:

• Pour 2–3x the weight of your coffee (e.g., 36–54g for 18g coffee)

• Wait 30–45 seconds

The WeighMaster’s built-in timer starts the moment you pour, letting you control the bloom with accuracy—and no stopwatch needed.

☕ 4. Track Your Pouring Rhythm and Flow Rate

A steady pour is key. Whether you’re doing pulse pours or a continuous spiral, you should aim to finish your brew within 2:30 to 3:30 minutes, depending on your grind and recipe.

Thanks to its flow rate display, the WeighMaster helps you keep a consistent pouring pace—so your brew doesn't end up over-extracted or under-developed.

☕ 5. Log Your Recipes and Repeat What Works

Brewing is part science, part habit. The best way to improve is to log your successful brews—record your coffee dose, water weight, brew time, and result.

If you're using the MANTABREW WeighMaster, its smart memory recall and companion app integration (optional) let you store your go-to recipes and adjust with precision.

🔚 Conclusion

A great pour over doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of deliberate control over coffee, water, time, and technique. A smart, responsive scale like the MANTABREW WeighMaster gives you the tools to take your brew from “pretty good” to “absolutely dialed-in.”
