Step-by-Step Brewing Guide
Gather Your Tools and Ingredients
- Glass pour over coffee maker
- Stainless steel filter
- Freshly roasted coffee beans
- Burr grinder
- Kettle
- Scale
- Hot water (about 200°F or 93°C)
Preheat Your Equipment
Start by preheating your pour over coffee maker and stainless steel filter with hot water. This step ensures that the brewing temperature remains stable.
Grind Your Coffee
For optimal extraction, grind your coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. Generally, a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio works well. If you're brewing with the 400ml brewer, use about 27 grams of coffee.
Position the Filter and Bloom
Place the stainless steel filter in the glass dripper. Add your ground coffee, creating a level bed. Pour hot water (double the weight of the coffee) over the grounds, allowing it to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Begin the Pour
Start your first pour steadily and in a circular motion to ensure even saturation. Aim to finish pouring within 2-4 minutes for the complete brew process.
Enjoy and Experiment
Once brewing is complete, remove the filter and give your beverage a gentle swirl. Experiment with different pouring techniques and coffee ratios to discover your perfect cup.
