POUR OVER METHOD

A classic Pour Over Coffee Dripper is an essential tool in any Cafe or Home Barista, if you are trying to have a tool that is easy to use and can produce a coffee that has a bit more flavour clarity. Good filter coffee is clean, clear, and consistent. This is because the water is allowed to extract coffee oils and fragrances in its own consistent time and at its own pressure. The filter then catches a lot of oils, leading to a clean cup. And because this is an infusion method, it is a little more efficient at extracting coffee solubles than immersion techniques such as the French press.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

TEMPERATURE KETTLE: Investing in a temperature kettle will give you more flexibility when experimenting with your filtered coffee. A darker roast requires a higher temperature to extract the coffee oils from the coffee.

FILTER GRINDER: A small inexpensive filter grinder will allow you to dial in your brew recipe. A finer grind will provide more body and texture, while a coarser grind will allow more clarity and brightness in your cup.

PRE WET DRIPPER: This is a very important step when preparing Filtered Coffee. It is essential to pre-wet the paper filter to extract any of 'paper' flavour and by using a larger amount of hot water to actually heat the Coffee Dripper and carafe.

MEASURE YOUR RECIPE: The aim is to pour your desired recipe which includes recording the particle size of your Filtered Coffee, try to create a flat bed of coffee grinds before you start pouring. This will allow the 'Bloom' to be more consistent allowing for an even infusion of fresh water.

THE COFFEE COMPASS: This is a useful tool when brewing your Coffee. Outside of the compass provides a sensory experience you may have when tasting your Brew, by moving from the outside to the inside of the compass, it advises you on potential solutions to improving your next sensory experience.

COFFEE BLOOM: You should always start with a Bloom. That means adding just enough water to let the coffee release the gases still trapped inside from the roasting process. The goal is to saturate the entire coffee bed. Wait for the coffee bed to stop bubbling before you start your next pour.

YIELD & TIME: The total brew time for a Coffee dripper will usually fall into the 3 to 4-minute range. Your chosen grind will determine which side of that range you'll want to be on.

POURING TECHNIQUES: After the Bloom, you should pour the remaining water in 3-4 roughly equal pulses with a spiralling pattern to make sure all of the coffee gets an even amount of water.

COFFEE SCALES & TIMER: Consistent Coffee means being able to monitor and record the parameters of your recipe. Invest in a digital scale and use it to measure your coffee and water.

SHARING THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY: Nothing beats pouring your freshly Brewed Coffee into a clear glass. Your sensory experience will explode as you get to see the clarity of the coffee you have just prepared.
