How it's made

What makes it this drink and not its neighbour on the menu. The café in Brewology judges every one by these.

Pour over: Hot water poured by hand over a bed of grounds in a paper filter.
Red eye: A mug of filter coffee with a shot of espresso in it, for the morning after a long night.
Iced pour over: Japanese-style iced coffee: filter coffee chilled over ice the moment it is brewed, so it keeps its bright flavour.
