☕ Discover the Art of Pour Over Coffee Brewing
Looking to master how to make pour over coffee at home?
This clean, controlled brewing method lets you highlight every nuance in your beans—from citrusy brightness to subtle mushroom notes in Neobean’s infused blends.
💡 Why Pour Over?
Pour over coffee isn’t just trendy—it’s a method that gives you total control over flavor, strength, and balance. By pouring water slowly over freshly ground coffee, you extract a clean, complex cup with clarity and depth.
It’s also one of the best ways to taste the true character of your beans, especially if you’re enjoying specialty or single-origin varieties.
Perfect for:
- Specialty coffee lovers
- Those seeking balance and brightness
- Highlighting single-origin or mushroom-infused beans
🛠 What You’ll Need
- A pour over dripper (Hario V60, Kalita Wave, or Chemex)
- Filter paper
- Freshly ground coffee (medium-fine grind)
- Gooseneck kettle
- Digital scale
- Timer
- Mug or carafe
📏 Coffee-to-Water Ratio
A great starting point:
1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water
📍 Example: 25g coffee → 400g water (one large mug)
This ratio is a fantastic starting point—but feel free to experiment for strength!
🕒 Step-by-Step Brewing Instructions
1. Heat Your Water
Bring filtered water to about 200°F (93°C)—just off the boil.
2. Rinse the Filter
Place your filter in the dripper and rinse it with hot water. This removes the papery taste and preheats your gear.
3. Add the Coffee
Add your ground coffee to the filter and gently shake to level the bed.
4. The Bloom
Start your timer and pour 2x the weight of coffee in water (e.g., 50g water for 25g coffee). Let it sit for 30–45 seconds as the coffee “blooms” and releases gas.
5. Main Pour
In slow circles, pour the rest of the water over the coffee in stages. Aim for the full 400g by the 2:30–3:00 mark.
6. Wait & Enjoy
Let the coffee finish draining (around 3:30–4:00 total time). Remove the dripper, give your brew a swirl, and sip.
