title_body: Can you stir a pour-over?
upvoted_answer: The short answer is yes you can stir pour overs and it can be useful but generally not recommended. 
  
  The primary use for stirring pour overs that I have seen is a very light stir to jostle grounds that have stuck to the brewing methods walls. The slight stir at the maximum volume of water in the filter makes sure that as fluid drains grounds stay in the slurry of water and are evenly extracted.
