Ethan Cole Hargrove

Ethan Cole Hargrove is a pour over coffee enthusiast, specialty coffee writer, and the founder of this blog — built for anyone who has ever tasted a truly great cup of coffee and wanted to understand exactly how to make it at home. Ethan's coffee journey started the way most do — with a supermarket blend and a cheap drip machine. Then one morning at a specialty café, a barista handed him a pour over and everything changed. The clarity, the complexity, the way the same bean could taste completely different depending on how you brewed it. He was hooked. What followed was years of testing every dripper, grinder, kettle, and filter he could get his hands on. Comparing Chemex vs V60 vs Kalita. Dialing in grind size by the click. Learning why water temperature matters more than most people think. Building a morning ritual around a process that is as meditative as it is delicious. Ethan is not a Q Grader, certified barista, or
