☕ Introduction

Pour over brewing is often praised for its simplicity—but ask any barista, and they’ll tell you: it’s all about precision. When you brew without a scale, you're essentially guessing. And guesswork leads to inconsistent coffee.

If you've ever thought “Why doesn’t this cup taste like the last one?” — you’re not alone. Here are the top 5 mistakes people make when brewing pour over without a scale, and how switching to a smart scale like the MANTABREW WeighMaster can dramatically improve your coffee game.

❌ Mistake 1: Guessing the Coffee Dose

A common mistake is using a spoon or scoop to measure beans. But not all beans weigh the same—density, roast level, and grind affect volume.

Why it matters:
Too much coffee = over-extracted, bitter taste
Too little = under-extracted, weak and watery

How to fix it:
Use a scale to weigh your beans before grinding. A good starting point is 15–18g of coffee for a single cup.

✅ With the MANTABREW WeighMaster, you get 0.1g precision, ensuring every dose is intentional—not estimated.

❌ Mistake 2: Pouring Too Much or Too Little Water

When you eyeball your pour, it’s easy to under- or overfill your brew. This throws off your coffee-to-water ratio, leading to unbalanced flavors.

Why it matters:
Precision water weight is key to extraction. The ideal ratio is typically 1:15 to 1:17 (coffee:water).

How to fix it:
Weigh your water as you pour. For 18g of coffee, aim for ~270g of water.

✅ The WeighMaster’s real-time water tracking shows exactly how much water is hitting the grounds—no separate kettle or measuring cup needed.

❌ Mistake 3: Brewing Without a Timer

Many pour over brewers neglect time altogether—or just wing it. But brew time is as important as grind size or water temp.

Why it matters:

• Too fast = under-extracted, sour taste

• Too slow = over-extracted, bitter result

How to fix it:
Track both bloom time (30–45s) and total brew time (2:30–3:30 min). Timing gives you repeatability.

✅ The MANTABREW WeighMaster comes with a dual-mode timer, so you can monitor bloom and full brew time seamlessly, all in one interface.

❌ Mistake 4: Inconsistent Pouring and Flow Rate

Without guidance, most people pour unevenly—stopping, starting, and rushing pours without realizing it. This inconsistency affects extraction.

Why it matters:
A steady pour ensures even saturation and prevents “channeling” (where water bypasses coffee).

How to fix it:
Monitor your flow rate and keep it consistent. Aim for 4–6 ml/sec for a smooth, even extraction.

✅ The WeighMaster is one of the few scales that shows your flow rate in real time, helping you learn and maintain a pro-level pouring rhythm.

❌ Mistake 5: You Can’t Repeat a Great Cup

You finally brew a cup that tastes amazing—but the next day, it’s not the same. Why? No data = no way to replicate success.

Why it matters:
Good coffee is a repeatable process, not a happy accident. Without weight, time, and ratio records, you’re starting from scratch each time.

How to fix it:
Log your coffee dose, water weight, and brew time. Use this info to refine and adjust.

✅ The MANTABREW WeighMaster allows you to save your recipes and replicate them anytime—whether you're trying different beans or dialing in your daily brew.
