How Much Coffee and Water for Single Origin Coffee?
How much coffee powder should be used for a single origin coffee? How much water? What about water temperature and grind size? Many beginners choose pour-over as the brewing method for single origin coffee, which easily raises these questions. Although pour-over single origin coffee seems simple, if controlled well, you can also make a professional and authentic cup of single origin coffee at home. Below, FrontStreet Coffee shares experience to briefly explain the steps and precautions for pour-over single origin coffee. Of course, to get started with single origin coffee, a set of pour-over equipment is essential. The most basic equipment includes a dripper, filter paper, electronic scale, thermometer, and gooseneck kettle - these are the fundamental tools for pour-over single origin coffee.
Professional Brewing Parameters
Many attentive friends, when observing baristas brewing, notice that baristas typically have fixed parameters and brewing habits. For example:
- 15g of coffee powder will be infused with 30g of water for blooming
- Medium-fine grind size, similar to fine granulated sugar
- Segmented extraction (watering in 2-3 stages)
- 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio (15g of coffee with 225g of water)
- Extraction time within 2 minutes (timing starts after the first bloom)
- Make fine adjustments to these fixed parameters based on the bean's roast date and roast level
Basic Steps
- Weigh 15g of single origin coffee beans.
- Pour into a grinder and grind. The grind size is typically chosen based on roast level. For pour-over, the grind particles are usually slightly coarser than fine granulated sugar (the editor prefers using a small Fuji grinder at setting 3.5 for pour-over).
- Fold the filter paper and place it in the dripper. Use hot water from the gooseneck kettle to wet the filter paper in a clockwise circular motion. This removes the paper taste and helps the paper adhere to the dripper while the hot water flows into the lower pot, serving to warm the lower pot and make the coffee more delicious.
- Pour out the water from the lower coffee pot and pour the 15g of coffee powder into the center of the filter paper. Gently shake the dripper horizontally to level the coffee powder in the filter paper.
- Place the leveled upper section back on the dripper, then use hot water from the gooseneck kettle to draw circles with the center of the dripper as the focal point (actually, most enthusiasts can't tell the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise circles, so don't make it too mysterious).
- Usually start timing when the first bloom is complete. Quickly brew the coffee to 30g, then stop watering and let it bloom for 25-30 seconds before the second watering.
The water flow must be steady! (Don't let the water break - you can practice this more at home)
- For the second watering, draw circles like before, using the center of the dripper as the focal point in clockwise circles. At this point, choose a fine water flow for slow watering.
For V60, be careful not to let the water flow hit the area where the coffee powder meets the filter paper to avoid channeling effects (channeling means water flows directly to the lower pot through the side grooves without passing through the coffee powder).
When watering reaches the outermost circle of coffee powder, leave one circle, then continue brewing circle by circle toward the center.
For the third watering, use a larger water column to utilize the impact force of the larger water flow, causing the coffee powder particles to roll more, letting all settled particles roll, and thus dissolving soluble substances.
- Within 2 to 2.5 minutes, brew the coffee to 225g. The pour-over coffee is complete.
Daily Coffee Consumption
How much single origin coffee is appropriate to drink per day? Actually, if single origin coffee is used for pour-over, the caffeine extraction will be higher than espresso extracted by an espresso machine because pour-over single origin coffee has a longer extraction time. A cup of about 200ml of pour-over single origin coffee contains 180mg of caffeine, which basically meets most people's daily caffeine intake (300mg). Therefore, if you want to drink single origin coffee healthily, generally drinking one cup of about 300ml of pour-over single origin coffee per day is most suitable.
