The Perfect Brew - Pour Over Edition

1. Boil Water:

2. Grind Coffee Beans:

Weigh out about 25 grams of coffee beans from Fonzie Abbott Coffee Roastery for a standard 12 oz cup.
Grind the coffee to a medium-fine consistency, similar to coarse sand.

3. Pre-wet the Filter:

Place the filter in the dripper and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste and preheat the brewing vessel.

4. Add Ground Coffee:

Place the ground coffee into the pre-wet filter and shake gently to level the grounds.

5. Bloom the Coffee:

Start your timer and pour just enough hot water (about twice the weight of the coffee, so around 50 grams) over the grounds to fully saturate them.
Let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds as it releases gases.

6. Begin Pouring:

After the bloom, start pouring the remaining water in a slow, steady spiral motion, starting from the center and moving outward.
Keep the water level consistent but avoid pouring directly onto the filter walls.

7. Control Pour Rate:

Aim for a total brew time of 3-4 minutes.
Adjust your pour rate to maintain a steady flow, pouring in intervals to keep the water level consistent.

8. Remove Dripper and Serve:

Once the coffee has finished brewing, remove the dripper and discard the used grounds.
Swirl the brewed coffee gently in the vessel to mix the flavors.

9. Enjoy Your Pour Over Coffee!

Pour the coffee into your favorite mug and savour the rich flavors and aromas of Sweet FA!
