Description

MHW-3Bomber Pour Over Chilling Ball: 42mm

The MHW Pour Over Chilling Ball: 42mm is designed for precision cooling during manual brewing. It enhances clarity, boosts aroma retention, and reduces over-extraction in pour-over coffee.

Control Brew Temperature for Cleaner Pour-Over Flavours

The 42mm chilling ball sits just below the dripper during extraction. Acting as a thermal sink, it rapidly cools the coffee at its initial contact, preserving delicate aromas and reducing harsh over-extraction. It's engineered specifically for iced or high-clarity brews.

How It Works

Place the chilling ball below your V60 or egg-shaped dripper, maintaining a ~5mm gap from the coffee flow. Use it during the first 40% of brew time, when most aromatics are released. The concave surface design prolongs contact, enhancing clarity and brightness.

  • Use it during the first 40% of brew time to maximise flavour impact
  • After use, rinse and return to freezer — ready again in 20 minutes

Maintenance & Cleaning

  • Do not use harsh chemicals or dishwashers
  • Dry thoroughly before placing back into the freezer
