Step 1

Heat water to 200°F (94°C) for light or medium roasts. For dark and decaf roasts, use a temperature of 190°F (90°C)

Use filtered water if possible. Don’t have a kettle with temperature control? Boil and let sit for about 1 minute.

Step 2

Weigh out coffee and grind at a medium grind.

Step 3

Add your filter and grounds to your brewer.

Step 4 – Bloom

Pour 3x the weight of your coffee of water over the grounds, making sure to wet all of them, and let sit for 30 seconds. The bloom releases CO² from the coffee. If it drains too fast, give it a gentle swirl.

Step 5 – Pour

Slowly pour the remaining water in steady circles. If the coffee is draining too fast, you can add some agitation or split the pour into two pours.

Step 6

Let it drain completely, then enjoy!
