Finally nailed my pour-over technique after 3 months

I've been messing with my pour-over setup since January and today it finally clicked. Changed my water temp from boiling to 200 degrees exactly and slowed my pour to 30 seconds instead of rushing it. Cup came out way smoother with none of that bitter bite I was getting before. Anyone else struggle with water temp or am I just overthinking this?

Boiling water doesn't ruin coffee, that bitter bite was probably your grind size not temp.

Did you ever check your water temperature with a thermometer? Even a few degrees too hot can pull out those harsh flavors from the beans. A cheap instant read thermometer changed how my morning coffee turned out for the better.
