1. Grind The Beans
Start with 23 grams of ground coffee.
I use a simple Amazon Basics kitchen scale to weigh out whole beans, and a Krupps blade grinder to grind.

Using hot water, wet the filter. Discard this water- it will taste like the filter paper. Then, add the ground beans.
I'm using the Melitta Pour Over Brewer with matching natural brown Melitta #2 Filters, and I'm pouring into a 600ml glass carafe.
Pour 50 grams of water onto the grounds. This initial pour prepares the grounds for the main extraction by allowing C02 to escape.
Wait 30 seconds before proceeding to the next pour.
Using a gentle, swirling motion, pour another 300 grams of water onto the grounds. This pour should take about 3 minutes.
I use a Stagg Gooseneck Kettle. The slim neck allows for better control of the pour, making it easier to slowly pour.
Now for the payoff- enjoy your cup of pourover coffee!
This is just a simple pourover recipe! There are many ways to tweak this recipe depending on your tastes.
The general range of coffee beans to water is 1:12 to 1:17, this recipe is ~1:15. Use about 2x the weight of coffee in your bloom pour, and the rest of the water in the second pour.
