Pour-over Coffee Guide: A Simple Recipe for Better Brews

Pour-over Coffee Guide: A Simple Recipe for Better Brews

A clean, bright cup starts with a simple recipe. Pour over lets the character of your coffee shine through, making it a lovely way to enjoy single origin coffee.

Your starting recipe

Coffee Water Grind Brew time
15g 250ml, just off the boil Medium-fine About 3 minutes

How to brew

  1. Rinse your paper filter with hot water and discard the rinse water.
  2. Add your ground coffee. Pour about 30ml of water over it to wet the grounds, then wait 30 seconds while it blooms.
  3. Pour the remaining water slowly in small circles, keeping the water level steady.
  4. Aim to finish in around 3 minutes, then remove the dripper and enjoy.

Make it your own

If the water runs through too quickly and the coffee tastes weak, try a slightly finer grind. If it runs slowly and tastes bitter, try a coarser grind. Change one thing at a time and let your taste buds lead.
