POUR OVER

STEP 1

Heat 400ml of water to 205 Fahrenheit (or boil and rest off of the heat for a minute before brewing). 

STEP 2

Place the filter in the pour-over brewer and rinse the filter with boiled water to remove any paper flavour.
Drain the water out through the spout. 

STEP 3

Grind 28g (approximately 4 tbsp) of freshly roasted coffee to a medium grind, and place in the filter. Give it a shake side to side to flatten the coffee bed.  

STEP 4

Start a timer and pour just enough boiling water into the coffee so that it evenly saturates the grinds, 80 to 100 ml.

STEP 5

At the 30 second mark, pour another 100ml evenly into the coffee using slow, concentric circles. Never pour down the sides of the filter - always pour into the coffee itself*. 

*Pouring water down the sides of the filter forces very fine particles to migrate down the filter and into the cone at the bottom, where they can clog the flow of water.

STEP 6

At the 60 second mark, pour another 100ml into the coffee. Repeat with the final 100ml at the 90 second mark. 

STEP 7

Once water has drained completely, remove filter and compost it. It should take about 60 to 90 seconds to drain.
