pour over coffee

Recipe for 15:1 for two mugs. 40g grounds. 600g water. Aim for adding water as 120g-200g-remainder. Use a kitchen scale. Boiling hot water is best.

  1. Rinse filter with hot water and discard
  2. Grounds in filter, rough centered pile
  3. Wet all the grounds evenly with as little water as possible. Around 2-3 times mass of grounds
  4. Let it drain and collapse. Longer the better about 2 minutes
  5. Add 1/3 of the remaining water, evenly to grounds. Wet the edges too. Grounds should be flat.
  6. Let it drain until a trickle
  7. Add the remaining water. Gently swirl the pour over to loosen grounds stuck to walls. Let it drain to a trickle.
  8. Swirl the coffee
  9. Enjoy
