Pastorale Pour-Over Set

What is included in the set?

The ceramic V-dripper, the glass server with measurement markings, and forty V-shaped paper filters. A gooseneck kettle is not included.

What grind size works best?

Medium to medium-coarse, slightly coarser than drip coffee. Too fine clogs the filter and over-extracts bitterness. Too coarse flows too fast and under-extracts flavor. Start medium, adjust by taste.

Is the glass server dishwasher safe?

No. Hand wash it, since thermal shock from dishwasher cycles can crack borosilicate glass over time. The ceramic dripper rinses clean with warm water and dish soap.

Is it a good gift for someone new to pour-over?

Yes. One set holds everything to start: a ceramic V-shaped dripper, a glass server with measurement markings and 40 paper filters.

Do you sell a ceramic pour-over dripper?

Yes, in the Pastorale Pour-Over Set: a ceramic V-shaped dripper, a heat-resistant borosilicate glass server with etched measurement lines, and forty V-shaped paper filters. A kettle is not included. Use a medium to medium-coarse grind. The glass server is hand wash only.

What do I need to start pour-over coffee at home?

A dripper with a server, a gooseneck kettle, a burr grinder and ideally a scale. The Pastorale Pour-Over Set gives you a ceramic V-dripper, a glass server with markings and 40 paper filters. Add the Sentinel Gooseneck Kettle and the Pocket Pour Scale with timer. Guide: our pour over guide.

Is a stainless steel coffee filter better than paper?

It is a taste and convenience choice. A steel mesh is reusable and lets more coffee oils through, giving a fuller cup, but it needs rinsing each time; paper gives a cleaner cup and is thrown away. The Workshop Pour-Over Set has a steel filter, the Slow Glass Carafe a steel mesh, and the Pastorale Pour-Over Set uses paper filters, with forty included.

Which complete pour over coffee sets do you sell, and what is missing from each?

The Pastorale Pour-Over Set has the ceramic dripper, glass server and 40 paper filters, but no kettle; its page says a gooseneck is not included. The Wayfarer Pour-Over Kit is the most complete: hand grinder, 12 oz gooseneck kettle, V60-style dripper, 12 oz server, 40 filters and a hardshell case. The Toscana is dripper and carafe only. Add a gooseneck from our gooseneck kettles if missing.

Wayfarer kit vs separate pieces: which suits home brewing?

For home, separate pieces give you more capacity and choice. The Wayfarer Pour-Over Kit is travel-sized: 12 oz kettle and 12 oz server in a hardshell case. At home you could pair the Pastorale Pour-Over Set with the Editor's Gooseneck Kettle and a grinder. The kit wins for travel and camping, the separate pieces for the counter.

I hate washing up. Which coffee method leaves the least mess?

Paper-filter pour-over is the tidiest: you lift the filter with the grounds and throw it away. The Pastorale Pour-Over Set has a ceramic dripper, a glass server and 40 paper filters in the box. A press or a steel mesh filter means rinsing grounds out every time. You still need hot water poured slowly; a gooseneck such as the Sentinel Gooseneck Kettle makes that easy.

I want to impress a date with coffee at home on a Sunday morning. What should I set up?

Pour-over is a nice thing to make in front of someone. The Pastorale Pour-Over Set has a ceramic dripper, a glass server and 40 paper filters, and a gooseneck like the Sentinel Stovetop Pour Kettle, filled from your kettle, gives a slow, steady pour. Serve in two Orb Ceramic Mugs with their saucers.

Where can I get more paper filters for the Pastorale set?

The Pastorale Pour-Over Set includes forty V-shaped paper filters, and its page says to use V-shaped ones. We do not list spare filters as a separate product, so please contact support before ordering to confirm which sizes are available. If you want to stop buying filters, the Slow Glass Carafe has a reusable steel one.
