Skip the lines at the coffee shop and make your own pour over coffee in minutes from scratch. Made with store bought coffee beans, get a delicious caffeine fix effortlessly.
Using a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans to medium grind (similar to coarse salt or Panko breadcrumbs).
Using an electric kettle, heat your water to 200 F.
Place a filter into your Pour over or Chemex and add the ground coffee to the filter.
Pour about 1/3 cup warm water over the coffee grounds to cover all of the grounds evenly. Allow the coffee grounds to sit for one minute to bloom.
Slowly pour the remaining water into the pour over. Make sure to ensure that all of the grounds are wet evenly. Repeat until you have used all of the water.
Once you’ve added all of the water, allow the pour over to sit for an additional minute to drain the additional water.
Remove the filter and enjoy!
NOTES
I like to medium grind my coffee beans. If your coffee tastes too weak, you are probably grinding them too coarsely. You can make adjustments to the coffee grind size and see how a finer grind tastes.
If your coffee is too strong, add in a little extra hot water to your cup to dilute it.
Don't pour boiling water over the coffee grounds or they can scorch. Boil your kettle and let it cool for 30 seconds before using.
The total brew time is around 3 to 4 minutes.
You could also use a coffee dripper (like Kalita Wave 185 or Hario V-60) for individual cups of cofee instead of the large Chemex coffee makers. They are popular for their even extraction because of their flat bottom and some of the best tasting coffee.
The concept of pour over and electric drip coffee makers is the same but with pour over you have more control over the brewing process and each variable makes a notable difference in the type, taste and texture of the resulting coffee.
