Pour-over Coffee

Method

Brewing Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare equipment

    Set up a pour-over brewer with a filter over your mug. Rinse the filter with hot water to preheat the brewer and remove any paper taste.

  2. 2

    Add coffee

    Place 2 tablespoons ground coffee in the filter, level the bed, and gently tap to settle.

  3. 3

    Heat water

    Heat water to about 92-96°C (198-205°F). If you don't have a thermometer, bring water to a boil and let it rest for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Bloom coffee

    Pour about 40-50 ml of hot water evenly over the grounds to saturate them; allow to bloom for about 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Brew

    Slowly pour the remaining water in a steady, circular motion until the total yield reaches 240 ml in the mug.

  6. 6

    Finish

    Remove the brewer, discard the filter, and pour the coffee into your mug if needed. Stir in sugar to taste and add milk if desired.
