Why is my pour over filter so slow?

What am I doing wrong with my pour over coffee?

If your brew time is too short, the coffee will taste sour. If it is too long, the coffee will be bitter.

Your coffee may also be tasting bitter with a long and unpleasant finish if your pour-over is running very slowly (typically anywhere above four minutes would be considered ‘slow’). Bitter coffee can also be an indicator that the temperature of your water is too high. If you can, grind your coffee a bit coarser.

Does pour over coffee taste different?

Due to the differences in brewing methods, pour overs tend to have more flavor than regular drip coffee. Since the brewing process typically takes longer, the flavor tends to be more vibrant. This is because the water has more time to pull the flavors and oils from the grounds.
