PourOverMate
PourOverMate is a web-based tool designed for pour-over coffee brewing, specifically focused on the V60 method. It lets users select a coffee dose—15g or 20g in the quick start flow—and choose a strength level (light 1:18, balanced 1:16, strong 1:14). The tool then automatically calculates the corresponding water volume, water temperature, grind size, and target brew time. The main feature is a guided brew timer that runs on the user's device and counts down the target time, helping baristas and home brewers follow each pour step precisely. The interface shows the last completed brew for quick reference, and a profile area allows users to track every brew. A Pro tier provides an overview of every pour and target in one place. In addition to the calculator and timer, PourOverMate includes recipe exploration and a flavor radar to help users discover and tune coffee taste profiles. The tool is B2C and paid, with a simple, focused design aimed at improving consistency and experimentation in manual pour-over brewing.
