My go-to pour over recipes.¹

Equipment

• Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle
• Fellow Ode Grinder (Gen 1)
• Hario V60 Drip Scale
• Hario V60 Dripper, 02
• Hario V60 Metal Dripper, 02 Matte Black
• Kalita Wave Series 185
• Chemex - Glass Handle Series
• OEM filters for each dripper

V60 / Kalita Wave Recipe

Process:

1. Wet/Warm Filter — With dripper over sink or prepping cup, pour enough water around filter to wet it.
2. Add Coffee — Level the grounds, then make a depression / hole in the middle without compacting the grounds.
3. Bloom — 0:00 to 0:45. Pour 50g of water, swirl gently to saturate all grounds. Let it bloom and degas.
4. First pour — 0:45 to 1:15. Pour slowly in circles to 150g total. Aim for an even bed.
5. Second pour — 1:15 to 1:45. Pour in circles to 250g total.
6. Third pour — 1:45 to 2:15. Pour in circles to 350g total.
7. Drawdown — Give the brewer a gentle swirl and let it drain. Should finish around 3:00 - 3:30.

Notes:

• I warm the dripper over / on top of the kettle while the water is preheating.
• If brew time runs long, grind coarser. If it drains too fast, go finer.

Chemex Recipe (2 cups)

Process:

1. Warm Filter — Pour enough water around filter to warm it and the vessel up. Drain water in sink.
2. Add Coffee — Level the grounds, then make a depression / hole in the middle without compacting the grounds.
3. Bloom — 0:00 to 1:00. Pour 100g of water over grounds. Give a gentle stir or swirl to make sure everything is wet.
4. First pour — 1:00 to 2:30. Pour slowly in circles to 320g total. Keep the stream steady and avoid the edges of the filter.
5. Second pour — 2:30 to 4:00. Continue pouring in circles to 520g total.
6. Third pour — 4:00 to 4:30. Pour to 720g total.
7. Drawdown — Let it drain completely. Should finish around 6:00 - 7:00.

Notes:

• I rinse the filter in the Chemex with cold tap water, and then drain completely before starting the brew process.
• If brew time runs long, grind coarser. If it drains too fast, go finer.
