Pour-Over Organic Coffee
MOERAH'S NOTES:
This is a fast brew time, which yields higher acidity, more aromatics, and a brighter taste.
WHAT YOU NEED: Whole Bean Coffee | Melitta Style Brewer & Filters | Kettle | Timer | Scale
PRO-TIP: There are plenty of different-shaped pour-overs you can try. V60, Kalita & Beehouse are a few. Experiment with coarser or finer grinds and find what you like best!
Step 1.
MEASURE: Use a scale to weigh coffee according to the above chart. Heat water on the stove or electric kettle set to 200–205°F
Step 2.
GRIND: Grind coffee to a medium fine consistency, a bit finer than sand.
Step 3.
FILTER: Fold the Melitta filter along the perforated edge. Place the brewer inside and set it above the cup you’ll be drinking out of.
Step 4.
PRE-WET: Pour a few ounces of hot water over the filter to rinse. Discard the water and place the cone back on top of the cup.
Step 5.
BLOOM:
Pour coffee into filter and shake to settle. Start your timer and being to pour water. Start with just enough to immerse the grounds. Wait 30-45 seconds before adding more water.
Step 6.
BREW: Add water by slowly pouring over the coffee in a circular manner.
PRO-TIP: When pouring in a circle, you are creating ‘turbulence’. Avoid the already light areas and pour into the darker spots. This allows the grinds to gently extract.
Step 7.
FINISH: Allow coffee to drip through. Total brew time should be between 2-3 minutes depending on batch size. Enjoy!
