How FrontStreet Coffee Makes Pour-Over Coffee

For professional coffee knowledge exchange and more coffee bean information, please follow Coffee Workshop (WeChat official account: cafe_style).

First, heat the water to a temperature slightly below boiling point—the ideal temperature is 200°F. Pre-wet the filter paper to rinse out any paper particles and preheat your dripper and mug. Like espresso, filtered water removes minerals from tap water that might affect the coffee's flavor.

Grind your coffee beans to a coarse texture suitable for coffee. 15 grams of coffee is a good starting point to achieve 225 grams in 2 minutes of brewing time. Of course, you need to adjust the grind size and amount according to different roasting methods when you feel the extraction is too fast or too slow. The general rule of thumb is: if the coffee flows too quickly, the grind is too coarse; if the coffee flows too slowly, the grind is too fine.

After pre-wetting the filter paper, add the ground coffee and pour an amount of water just enough to cover them. The water will bubble a bit, which is called "blooming." The blooming time is 30 to 40 seconds. The key here is patience, proper tools, and proper technique. The idea is to keep the grounds equally moist, creating a small dome, as it extracts—try to maintain the dome throughout the entire extraction process.

Start pouring from the center in a circular motion until you reach 125g, wait a few seconds for the water to settle, then pour to 225g, with the entire extraction time reaching 2 minutes.
