The Gina, made by German brand Goat Story, is a glass pour-over brewer with a valve at the bottom that lets the user choose between three brewing modes: immersion (valve closed), percolation (valve open), and drip cold brew (valve partially open over several hours). One device, three fundamentally different extractions — the pitch is versatility, and it delivers.
The cone is a relatively open 60-degree geometry with subtle ribs, sitting on a glass server with weight markings for ratio calculations. Bluetooth integration with the Gina app provides brew-guidance recipes, though the brewer works perfectly without it. The filter standard is standard V60-style paper, so paper supply is not an issue.
A versatile starting recipe in immersion mode: 25 g of coffee to 350 g of water (1:14), medium grind, water at 94 °C, valve closed for 3:00 of full immersion, then open for drawdown in 1:00 to 1:30. Switch to percolation mode (valve open from the start) and the Gina behaves as a standard V60 with the same recipe. For drip cold brew, 40 g of coffee and 400 g of room-temperature water dripping over 6 to 8 hours produces a concentrated brew similar to Kyoto-style slow drip.
