Brewing Pourover
Pourover method:
Pour Over is an accessible and delicious way to make coffee at home. We love this brew method for the clarity, sweetness and nuanced flavour it produces. While there is a range of variables to explore in pour over brewing, this is our favourite recipe to suit a variety of coffee.
You will need:
- A pour over brewer. We recommend the v60 or origami brewer.
- Conical filter paper.
- 20g coffee ground for filter.
- Scales, timer and a carafe or cup for serving
- A kettle a few minutes from boiling, around 95°C. A gooseneck kettle makes pour overs even easier, but isn’t essential.
Let’s get brewing!
Step One:
Place the brewer on your server or cup and put in the filter paper. Rinse paper with hot water. Discard this water.
Step Two:
Pour your ground coffee in the cone and shake/ tap gently to evenly distribute the grounds.
Step Three:
Place the brewer and server on your scale and tare. Start your timer and pour 60g of water in a circular motion slowly and evenly around the coffee bed.
Step Four:
Give the cone a swirl or stir a few times to evenly saturate the coffee.
Step Five:
At 40 seconds, fill to 180g water in the same circular motion.
Step Six:
At 1 min 20 seconds, fill to 300g in circular motions.
Step Seven:
Wait for the water to finish dripping, this should be around 3 minutes.
Step Eight:
Enjoy!
