Try the Pour-Over Recipe We're Using in our Cafes

There are lots of ways to make a stellar cup of coffee, but we've been using this tried-and-true recipe in our cafes because it pulls out amazing flavors and is super repeatable. For those of you who want to scale up or down, we brew using a 1:16.7 brew ratio. In other words, for every gram of coffee, we use 16.7 grams of water. One gram of water is equal to one milliliter of water. 

• 24g coffee (Holiday Blend is great!)
• Kalita Wave, but any brewer will do
• Don't forget the Filters!
• Gooseneck Kettle w/ 200°F water
• Scale that reads to 0.1g
• Timer (if your scale doesn't have one)

 

 

00:00 Bloom 50g water Start a timer and pour 50g of water down the center in a slow, controlled stream. You can pour in quarter-sized circles.

00:30 First pour 150g water At 30 seconds, pour a slow, controlled stream in quarter-sized circles until you've reached 150g water weight

 

01:00 Second Pour 300g water When the timer reads 1min, begin pouring in a straight stream down the center until the scale reads 300g

02:00 Last Pour 400g water Finish your pour at 400g and enjoy! Aim to finish between 3:30-4min
