Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 grams coffee beans medium roast, 250 grams water (filtered, 205°F / 96°C)

Equipment

  • gooseneck kettle
  • pour-over dripper (e.g.
  • V60 or Kalita Wave)
  • paper filter
  • mug
  • digital scale
  • timer

Method
 

  1. Boil water and let it cool to 205°F (96°C). 2. Rinse the paper filter with hot water to remove paper taste and warm the dripper. 3. Grind coffee to a medium-fine consistency (similar to sea salt). 4. Place dripper on mug, add ground coffee, and tare scale. 5. Pour 30 grams water in a slow spiral to bloom for 30 seconds. 6. Continue pouring in stages: add water to 150 grams by 1:15, then to 250 grams by 2:00. 7. Let drawdown finish by 3:00-3:30. 8. Remove dripper, swirl mug gently, and serve.

Notes

Store coffee beans in an airtight container away from light and heat. Serve immediately for best flavor. Caffeine content varies; consult a professional for personal dietary needs.
