The method

Pour over in four steps

Read the full guide
01

Weigh and grind

Start at 1:16. That is 20 g of coffee to 320 g of water, ground about as fine as sea salt.

02

Bloom

Pour about 40 g of water, twice the weight of the coffee, and wait 30 to 45 seconds.

03

Pour in stages

Add the rest in slow circles, keeping the level steady, until the scale reads 320 g.

04

Drawdown

Aim to finish at 3 to 4 minutes. Too fast, grind finer. Too slow, grind coarser.

Good coffee is mostly a scale, a timer and a little patience.

Everything here exists to make a good recipe easy to repeat.

Station by station

Each tool has one job

Pour over

Clear cups, by hand

A dripper, a filter and a server are all pour over needs. Paper gives a clean, bright cup. Metal lets more oils through.

Hand grinders

Grind just before brewing

Ground coffee goes stale fast. A burr grinder lets you grind each dose fresh and set the size for the method you brew.

Espresso tools

Small habits, steady shots

Distribute, tamp, pull, knock out. The same steps done the same way make each shot easier to read and adjust.

Kettles and scales

Pour slow, weigh everything.

A gooseneck kettle controls the stream. A scale with a timer turns a good cup into numbers you can repeat tomorrow.
