Here are 4 easy steps to make barista quality Pour Over coffee at home in just 6 minutes!
1) Medium Grind Coffee Beans
Grab your favorite coffee beans, measure out about 60 grams of beans, and give them a medium to fine grind. If you can use a burr grinder for best results. Pour the grinds into your filter. Dialing in your grind will take some trial and error to find what you love best.
Pro Tip: Create a divot/well in the middle of the grinds. This will help ensure all the coffee grounds get evenly saturated with water.
2) First Pour
Heat the water in your gooseneck kettle to 198-200 degrees fahrenheit. Start pouring in the middle of your coffee grounds making circles until you each the edge and ensure all the grounds are wet.
3) Bloom!
Swirl the carafe to ensure all the coffee grounds get saturated with water and create an even coffee bed. Now let it sit for about 45 seconds for the coffee to bloom!
4) Second Pour
Pour the remaining water over the coffee grounds using the same technique as the first pour, but go slow and don't rush it.
Pro Tip: Swirl the carafe again and give the coffee grounds a quick stir with a spoon. This ensures you're getting all that flavor out of those beans and into your cup.
Let the coffee sit and steep for about 4 minutes, giving the grounds time to release their oils and flavors. This ensures maximum extraction.
