PourCraft Coffee takes the guesswork out of pour-over brewing. Whether you're a seasoned barista or just bought your first gooseneck kettle, this app helps you nail the perfect water-to-coffee ratio every time. HOW IT WORKS Select your roast. Choose from light, medium, or dark roast profiles, each matched to its ideal brewing ratio. Enter your coffee weight. Use the intuitive stepper or type in the exact grams (10g to 60g). Get your water calculation. PourCraft instantly shows your total water needed, bloom water amount, and remaining pour, all based on proven specialty coffee ratios. BREWING RATIOS Light Roast (1:17) — Highlights bright, floral, and tea-like notes. Ideal for single-origin African coffees. Medium Roast (1:16) — The sweet spot for most specialty coffee. Clean, balanced, and full of character. Dark Roast (1:15) — Bold, heavy body with deep chocolate and caramel tones. STEP-BY-STEP BREW GUIDE PourCraft walks you through each stage of the pour-over process, from heating your water to the final draw-down. Every step includes the right temperature range (194-204°F / 90-96°C) so you can brew with confidence. THE BLOOM Great coffee starts with a great bloom. PourCraft automatically calculates your bloom water at 2x the coffee weight and reminds you to wait 30 seconds. This releases CO2 trapped in freshly roasted beans and sets up a more even extraction.

Each tip is backed by the science of extraction and written for real people, not coffee snobs.
