Pour Over Brewing Guide
Pour over, or hand brew, is a simple and easy way to brew a good cup of coffee. With hand brewing, you achieve the coffee's full potential with a very clean and clear taste experience where you can really taste the coffee's notes.
In Original Coffee we use a funnel and filters from Espro Bloom as well serving jug from Kinto to make hand brew.
This recipe brews 250 grams of coffee.
- Boil 300 grams of water. Let the water stand for a few minutes so the temperature can drop to 92 - 95°C.
- Put a filter in the brewing funnel and place on top of the server. Pour a good splash of water into the bottom of the filter and into the server.
- Weigh out 17 grams of coffee and grind it medium coarse.
- Empty the server of water and place the server and brewing funnel with filter on a scale.
- Pour the coffee into the brewing funnel. Shake the funnel lightly to distribute the coffee evenly.
- Reset your weight and pour 50 grams of water over the coffee in about 10 seconds. This is done in a calm, circular motion, so you are sure that all the coffee is hit by the water.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Pour the last 200 grams of water over the coffee in about 1 minute.
- Let the coffee drip through. The optimal brewing time is between 1:45 – 2:00 minutes.
- Bon appetite.
