A clean, delicate cup — made by hand
Pour over is a manual brewing method using a filter and a slow, controlled pour. The standard ratio is 20g of coffee to 300ml of water — roughly 1:15.
What you'll need
A dripper, paper filter, kettle, and scales if you have them. A single-origin like our Kenyan Peaberry brews particularly well this way.
How to brew it
1. Boil around 600ml of water.
2. Weigh out 20g of coffee.
3. Grind to a texture close to sea salt.
4. Fold your filter into a clean dripper.
5. Rinse the filter, then discard the water.
6. Add coffee, level it, wait for kettle to reach 90°C.
7. Bloom with 50g water for 30 seconds.
8. Pour in spirals to 300g total, over ~2.5 minutes.
9. Done once the bed looks flat and even.
