Pour Over, a graceful ballet in the world of brewing, starts with a gentle bloom of freshly ground coffee. The slow, circular pour of hot water over the grounds is a meticulous dance, revealing layers of flavor. Like an artist's brush stroke, each movement contributes to a harmonious extraction. The result is a liquid canvas—a pour-over poem that captures the essence of the beans with finesse. This brewing method, an ode to patience and precision, offers a delicate, nuanced sip, a poetic expression in every cup.
Bring water to 195-205°F (90-96°C). If you don't have a way to measure temperature, bring water to a boil and let it cool for about a minute to reach ideal temperature.
Grind coffee beans to a fine to medium consistency, resembling beach sand.
Place a paper filter into the top and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste. Pour out the water and position filter again.
Add the desired amount of coffee into the chamber, the recommended ratio is 1:16 (coffee to water).
Pour the remaining water into the chamber slowly and in batches. Pour until it barely covers the coffee. Repeat this step for 3 minutes.
Tip: If at the end of the 3-4 minutes, there is water remaining inside the chamber, check your grind size.
