Ingredients
  

  • 20 grams whole coffee beans 300 grams filtered water (heated to 200°F / 93°C)

Equipment

  • gooseneck kettle
  • pour over dripper (V60 or similar)
  • paper filter
  • digital scale
  • burr grinder
  • mug
  • timer

Method
 

  1. Heat filtered water to 200°F (93°C) in a gooseneck kettle. 2. Place a paper filter in the dripper and rinse it with hot water to remove paper taste and warm the dripper; discard rinse water. 3. Weigh 20 grams of whole coffee beans and grind to a medium-fine consistency (like sea salt). 4. Place the dripper on your mug and add the ground coffee; tap gently to level the bed. 5. Start a timer and pour 40 grams of water in a slow, circular motion starting from the center outward, ensuring all grounds are saturated; let bloom for 30 seconds. 6. After bloom, pour the remaining 260 grams of water in two or three stages, maintaining a steady spiral pour; aim to finish around 2:30 to 3:00 total brew time. 7. Let the water drain completely; remove the dripper and enjoy.

Notes

Serve immediately. Adjust grind size slightly finer if brew time is under 2:30, or coarser if over 3:30. For a stronger cup, increase coffee to 22 grams; for a lighter cup, use 18 grams.
