00:00.0

Pouring Guide

Select a recipe to start brewing.

Timeline:

0:00 – 0:30 The Bloom

Pour just enough water to saturate the grounds and start your timer. Water weight should be 50g.

0:30 – 2:00 The Pour

Slowly pour the rest of the water in a controlled, circular motion, aiming to reach the total water weight of 0g by the 2:00 mark.

2:00 – 3:30 The Final Drip

Allow the remaining water to drip through the grounds until the timer reaches 3:30.

Why Pour-Over?

We think the pour-over is a great way to taste the unique qualities of coffee. It’s all about a simple, hands-on process that gives you complete control. It takes a bit of time, but the reward is a cup that really lets the coffee shine.

What You’ll Need

Pour-Over Dripper

Like a V60 or Chemex

Gooseneck Kettle

For a steady, precise pour

Digital Scale

With a built-in timer

Our Fresh Beans

Freshly roasted, whole beans

Paper Filters

Sized for your dripper

Your Favorite Mug

Or cup to brew into

1.

Prep Your Station

Boil your water, then let it cool for a minute or two. Place your dripper, filter, and mug on the scale.

2.

Rinse the Filter

Give the paper filter a quick rinse with hot water. This warms everything up and gets rid of any paper taste.

3.

Add the Coffee

Measure and grind your beans. We use a 1:16 ratio—so for every 1 gram of coffee, use 16 grams of water. Give the grounds a gentle shake to level them.

4.

The “Bloom”

Start your timer and pour just enough water to get all the grounds wet. Wait for about 30 seconds while the coffee “blooms” and releases its aroma.

5.

The Main Pour 

Pour the rest of your water slowly and evenly in a circular motion. Try to finish your pour by the 2-minute mark.

6.

Enjoy Your Coffee!

Once it’s done dripping, remove the dripper and give your cup a swirl. You’ve just made a perfect pour-over.

A Note on Our Interactive Tools

This guide is designed to pair perfectly with our Interactive Pour-Over Timer. The three button options on the timer correspond to our recommended brew methods: 15g coffee / 250g water, 18g coffee / 290g water, and 25g coffee / 400g water. Each recipe uses a 50g bloom pour, and the timer’s visual guide will fill the cup according to the pouring instructions found in this guide. We invite you to use both tools to make your perfect cup of coffee!
