How to Make Pour Over Coffee

Pour over coffee extracts all of the flavor from coffee grounds since water is continuously poured over the grounds for a few minutes. None of the sometimes unpleasant oils will get into the final brew as a result of the use of a paper filter. This results in a clear and crisp brew. Medium or dark roasts should be brewed using this method since they have more flavor when their oils are removed than light roasts. A fine grind should be used to increase surface area, leading to a better extraction. This brewing method also results in a fast cleanup since all you have to do is throw away the used paper filter.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
6 ounces of water

Instructions:

Boil water
Put paper filter in pour over cone
Rinse paper filter with boiled water to remove any paper taste
Rinse cup with boiled water
Place ground coffee in paper filter
Place pour over cone with filter on top of cup
Wet the coffee grounds with boiled water
When coffee grounds rise (bloom), start to slowly pour water in a circular motion
Keep pouring water until water is finished
The coffee liquid should slowly drip into the cup
The process should be completed in 3-5 minutes
