Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 Pour Over Coffee Maker
- 1 Coffee Filter
- 1 Kettle Preferably Gooseneck
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons Ground Coffee May be increased if stronger coffee is preferred.
- 48 Ounces Water
Instructions
- Heat the water between 195°F and 205°F. (If the water comes to a boil, simply remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.)
- Place the filter in the coffee maker.
- Grind the coffee beans, and pour into the filter.
- Slowly pour enough water over the grounds until they are just covered, and allow the grounds to expand for about 30 seconds.
- Repeat slow pours moving from the outside in a circular motion to the inside of the beans.
- Once all the water has poured through, remove the filter, pour into your favorite mug, and enjoy!
Notes
- If the water comes to a boil, simply remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- This recipe can be adjusted to make more or less cups of coffee as needed. Coffee to water ratio should be 1-2 Tablespoons of grounds (depending on how strong you like your coffee) for every 6 oz. of water used.
- The initial pour of water over the grounds is called the blooming process, and is releasing the C02 trapped in the beans. When the C02 is released, it allows the beans to absorb the remaining water used so that maximum potential of flavor can be extracted.
- The benefit of having a gooseneck electric kettle is to aid in the slow pour, and not disburse the coffee grounds to the outer edges.
