Pour-Over
Brew Guide

A V60 timer and ratio calculator, designed and built by Luis Ramirez.

Design meets craft

Good design and good coffee both come down to the same thing: precision, process, and paying attention to the details most people skip. I built this pour-over coffee timer as a side project that puts two daily obsessions in one place: interaction design and brewing a better cup. Every ratio slider, countdown, and haptic nudge is a small UX decision, the same kind of thinking I bring to client work at Cast Iron LA.

Bloom water is 2× coffee weight. Saturates grounds and lets CO₂ escape before the main pour.

Rinse water removes paper taste and pre-heats your vessel. Always discard before adding grounds.

A vigorous bloom = fresh beans. Roasted within the last 2–4 weeks is the sweet spot.
