Coffee to Water Ratio
There are many schools of thought on coffee to water ratios. The below chart uses
the widely recognized 1:17 ratio, but it is highly recommended to experiment
with different ratios depending on the type of bean and personal taste.
Tips for Brewing Coffee with the Pour-Over Kettle
• It is recommended to use a digital kitchen scale with tare function to precisely
monitor the quantities during brewing.
• Water quality is important. Always start with fresh, cold filtered water.
• Always grind fresh coffee beans immediately before brewing. An even extraction
is critical, so it is recommended to use a high quality grinder such as a
Capresso Conical Burr Grinder to produce a uniform grind.
• Use a coarse to medium coarse grind for pour-over brewing.
• Most experts agree the optimal temperature range for brewing pour-over coffee
is between 195°F - 205°F (90°C – 96°C). Brewing at a higher temperature
than 205°F can lead to over extraction, which will cause more bitter flavors to
develop in the coffee.
• When using a paper filter always pre-wet the filter with heated water before
adding the ground coffee. This ensures that any dust or other foreign particles
are removed from the filter and ensures the purest flavor. The heated water
will also help to warm the vessel you are pouring into.
