Pour-Over Coffee Recipe
Pour-over coffee and my daily routine go hand in hand. Learn how I brew my prefect cup at home with some simple steps!
Servings: 1 mug of coffee
Equipment
- gooseneck kettle (optional but recommended)
- coffee filter
- coffee grinder
- digital scale
Ingredients
- 21 gramms whole coffee beans
Instructions
- Fill kettle with filtered water and bring to a boil. The ideal temperature for coffee brewing is 195-205 F. If you don’t have a thermometer, simply bring the water to a boil and let it rest for a minute before using.
- Fold the coffee filter according to the packaging instructions and place it inside the brewer. Next, pour some hot water over the filter to rinse paper flavor from the filter and preheat the brewer. Once the filter is completely rinsed, carefully pour out the water from the carafe.
- Grab your scale and measure out 21 grams of beans. Then grind them to a medium-coarseness, it should be the consistency of a table salt.
- Pour the ground coffee beans into the rinsed, damp filter. Shake it lightly to evenly distribute.
- Place the pour-over brewer on top of the digital scale and cancel out the weight so it starts at zero. Carefully start pouring the water on top of the grounds in slow circles. Add only enough water to saturate the grounds.
- Wait 30-45 seconds for the grounds to puff up and “bloom”, which allows the gasses to release from the coffee grounds. Then pour twice more water in slow and steady spirals to keep things even. Wait as the water drips through for a few seconds, then continue this process of pouring and waiting until the scale measures about 350 gr.
- This entire brewing process will take two minutes and thirty seconds. Remove the filter and you are ready to serve your coffee!
