Quick + Easy Pour Over

Quick + Easy Pour Over

Pour over is an easy-to-master brewing method that any quality-minded minimalist will love. Simple manual brewers such as Beehouse or Kalita Wave drippers produce aromatic, sweet and clean coffees. The former and latter are great choices for brewing for one or two; larger format brewers (like a Chemex) just require minor recipe tweaks to make enough coffee for the whole band.

  • Brew Coffee

    By 1:00 the water should have drained a centimeter, add 100 g of water in a circular motion. Repeat this process every 30 seconds, or as the water drains a centimeter, pouring water in a circular pattern until reaching a total weight of 500 g. The coffee should finish draining by 3:30-4:00 minutes.
