Ingredients:

• Coffee Dose: 16g
• Water: 250ml
• Water Temperature: 92°C

Equipment:

• Hario V60
• Filter paper
• Coffee grinder
• Kettle (preferably with a gooseneck spout and temperature control)
• Server or carafe

Pours:

• Bloom: 50ml
• Second Pour: 100ml
• Third Pour: 100ml

Instructions:

Grind the Coffee Beans:

• Measure out 16g of freshly roasted coffee beans.
• Grind the beans to a medium consistency, similar to table salt.

Heat the Water:

• Bring 250ml of water to a temperature of 92°C.
• If you don’t have a thermometer, heat the water to a boil and let it sit uncovered for about 30-60 seconds to reach the desired temperature.

Prepare the Dripper:

• Place the filter paper in your pour-over dripper.
• Rinse the filter with hot water to eliminate any paper taste and preheat the dripper and server.
• Discard the rinse water.

Add Coffee Grounds:

• Place the dripper on your server or carafe.
• Add the ground coffee to the filter, ensuring an even bed of grounds.

First Pour (Bloom):

• Slowly pour 50ml of the heated water over the coffee grounds in a circular motion.
• Ensure all grounds are saturated.
• Allow the coffee to bloom for 30-45 seconds. This releases carbon dioxide and enhances flavor extraction.

Second Pour:

• After the bloom, pour 100ml of water in a steady, circular motion, maintaining an even saturation of the grounds.
• Pour until you reach a total of 150ml.

Third Pour:

• Finally, pour the remaining 100ml of water using the same slow, circular motion.
• Ensure all water passes through the coffee grounds for a balanced extraction.

Wait and Enjoy:

• Once all the water has filtered through, remove the dripper.
• Swirl the coffee in the server until it reaches the ideal drinking temperature.
• Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, nuanced flavors of your perfectly brewed coffee!

Tips for the Best Cup:

• Freshness Matters: Use freshly roasted and ground coffee beans for optimal flavor.
• Consistent Pouring: Maintain a steady pouring speed to ensure even extraction.
• Clean Equipment: Always use clean equipment to avoid any unwanted flavors.

Enjoy your expertly brewed cup of pour-over coffee! Happy Brewing!
