Pourover brewing takes the automation out of coffee brewing and puts them in your hands. At home, this allows for a perfect morning cup versus a wasted pot. At a restaurant, it is a showcase piece as an after dinner treat. In your cafe, it allows your barista to demonstrate their talents and in that time discuss with the customer why and what they are doing to the coffee. In the end, pourover methods bring out the best of the beans and make a connection between the coffee and the drinker.
There are many set ups for pourovers. Below is a list of those we find to be superb. For questions regarding instructions on brewing, check out our Brewing Tips Page or contact any barista at Up Cafe.
With all our pourover set ups, you will need filters, which can be found Here.

Aeropress
Fast, rich, and smooth – Total immersion brewing results in uniform extraction of the ultimate in full coffee flavor. Other coffee makers drip hot water on a bed of grounds, over extracting at the center and under extracting at the edge. Using the ideal water temperature and gentle air pressure brewing yields rich flavor with lower acidity and without bitterness.
Chemex
The Chemex® coffeemaker is an elegant, one-piece, hourglass shaped vessel made of high quality, heat resistant glass. The traditional model comes to you with a polished wood collar and leather tie. The collar serves as an insulated handle around the middle of the coffeemaker.
The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented in 1941 by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm PhD. Made simply from non-porous, borosilicate glass and fastened with a wood collar and tie, it brews coffee without imparting any flavors of its own. On permanent display at MOMA NY and other fine museums, it is truly a work of art. Few products in this century can match the flawless blending of design and function of the Chemex®. Its visual elegance has earned it a place in the permanent collection of New York’s Corning Museum of Glass. The Chemex® coffeemaker was also selected by the Illinois Institute of Technology as one of the 100 best designed products of modern times.

Clever
The Clever Coffee Dripper combines the best features of French press and filter drip brewing, eliminating the drawbacks of each. With French press brewing, you can control steeping or infusion time, but heat loss and sediment in the cup can be a problem. Brewing with a paper filter is easy and convenient. Once ready, lay atop your cup, which will release the lock, allowing a free flow of coffee to your cup.
