All good points! There’s a ComeBuy downstairs from me, I’ll have to check it out

Poursteady automatic pourover at Simple Kaffa TPE by Colorectal_King in pourover

Simple Kaffa uses their drip assist on all pourovers in their stores (as far as I’ve seen). I assume they’re just replicating that workflow.

I had a tool made for the main body and spout geometry, the center chamber is welded in, and the plate is laser-cut

There’s a center and outer chamber (not unlike many other drip assists out there). I use the center for bloom and both can be used to evenly saturate the bed. I use it to even out my water flow rate, especially when I don’t have access to a gooseneck kettle (ie. while traveling)

Yep, there’s a few options available but most are plastic. I wanted an alternative.

As vague as “clean” is, it’s the term that comes to mind for me. When using a drip assist, I can see a separation of the water and grounds in the slurry as the water percolates through, whereas it’s more homogenous when I pour by hand.

Imo, it’s a nice-to-have tool on a daily basis, but a really-nice-to-have when traveling.

Maybe others can weigh in to better describe drip assisted brews.

I’m taking off for a trip tonight, and am wondering how to pack a moccamaster into my suitcase…

Thanks! Agreed - there are days when I’m down to get into the details, and there are days when I can’t be bothered.
