1
Prepare equipment
Set up a pour-over brewer (cone or dripper) over your mug. Place a filter in the brewer and rinse it with hot water to remove paper taste and preheat the brewer and mug.
2
Add coffee grounds
Measure 2 tablespoons of medium-ground coffee and place them into the rinsed filter. Gently shake the brewer to level the coffee bed for an even extraction.
3
Bloom the coffee
Pour about 40-50 ml of hot water (just off the boil, around 92–96°C) evenly over the coffee to saturate the grounds. Allow the coffee to bloom for 30-45 seconds, releasing any trapped gases.
4
Progressive pour
Slowly pour the remaining water (approximately 200–210 ml) in a steady, circular motion, keeping the water level consistent and avoiding pouring directly on the filter rim. Aim for a total brew time of about 2.5–3 minutes.
5
Finish and serve
Allow the brew to finish dripping completely. Remove the brewer, give the coffee a gentle stir, and pour into a mug. Taste as is, or add milk, cream, or sugar to preference.
