Pour Over Manual Brew Coffee
This is the simplest coffee brewing approach. It allows the individual the most control
of saturation of the coffee grounds, also the most participation by the user. It requires
more time than hitting the ON switch of a drip coffee maker but for many, its higher
involvement is part of the pleasure of coffee overall.

Brewing Manual Pour Over Method
•
Measure about 6 ounces of water for each cup you intend to brew. Place
measured water in kettle and turn on kettle to bring the water to the desired
temperature.
•
Grind two tablespoons of beans per cup of coffee.
•
Rinse the filter, dripper, and glass server (or whatever you are brewing into)
in hot water to preheat them.
•
Assemble the filter, dripper and vessel and dump the ground coffee into
the filter.
•
When the water reaches a boil, take the kettle off the heat source and wait
about five to fifteen seconds. The desired coffee brewing temperature is
205
o
F, slightly lower than boiling temperature.
•
Now pour the water into the filter. Stir the coffee just a bit to be sure it all
gets saturated with water. A slow, steady pour allows for the best extraction
from the grounds.
Tips:
•
You may have to pour two or three times depending in the grind, filter size,
and amount of coffee being made.
•
Pre-wetting the coffee grounds a minute before start pour over helps
extraction.
•
A narrower spout allows better water flow control.
•
Pour-over coffee is usually ground finer than drip coffee maker, but not as fine
as espresso.
