The Simple Smart Coffee Brewer eliminates the typical coffee-water slurry that other methods have above the coffee bed, reducing the extraction of bitter compounds for dark roasts and sour or astringent flavors from lighter roasts.

EPO Science
Encapsulated pour-over is very new, so expect to see additions here.
The SSC Brewer solves pour-over's biggest frustration: inconsistency. While traditional methods demand high quality (and expensive) grinders, perfect technique with a pouring kettle, and constant attention to avoid bitter, or over-extracted coffee, the SSC Brewer's encapsulated design eliminates these problems at the source.
Coffee naturally expands in hot water to create a uniform, self-regulating bed—no channeling, no fines migration, no stalled brews. The result is remarkably consistent, balanced coffee without a top quality grinder or perfect pouring technique.
You get the clarity and flavor of great pour-over without the steep learning curve, equipment investment, or daily variability. If you want reliably excellent coffee without fighting your brewing method every morning, the SSC Brewer transforms pour-over from a skill challenge into a simple, fault-tolerant process that just works.
