I’ve seen the pourover advice given and referenced unquestioningly: always pre-wet your paper filter. But why? What is the benefit of doing this step?

    Help the paper stick to the dripper body, remove manufacturing dust, and reduce/remove possible paper taste. Using hot water also helps pre-heat the dripper reducing heat loss during the brewing process.
