Why Can't You Brew a Deep Crater in Your Pour-Over? Does a Deeper Coffee Bed Mean Better Coffee?

FrontStreet Coffee often explains that the shape of a coffee bed crater doesn't determine whether a cup of coffee tastes good. What its appearance actually reveals is more about whether your water pouring technique during extraction was appropriate. A uniform, symmetrical coffee bed serves as proof that we've controlled the water flow perfectly during extraction. However, for many coffee enthusiasts, achieving that perfect, even extraction remains an elusive goal.
