The OneNinetySeven pour-over

Our recommended brew for any of our Estate single-origins. Brings out brightness, clarity, and the floral top notes washed coffees are known for.

Steps

1. 1
   Heat water to 96°C / 205°F

   Use filtered water. Off-the-boil is fine if you don't have a temperature kettle.

2. 2
   Rinse the filter

   Saturate the paper filter with hot water, dump into the carafe, then dump into your sink. This removes papery flavor and pre-warms everything.

3. 3
   Bloom (0:00 — 0:45)

   Pour 50g of water onto your 22g of grounds. Watch it bubble. Swirl the brewer gently to break up dry pockets.

4. 4
   First pour (0:45 — 1:15)

   Slowly pour in concentric circles to 200g total. Avoid the filter walls — only pour onto the bed.

5. 5
   Second pour (1:30 — 2:00)

   Pour to 350g total. The bed should fully submerge.

6. 6
   Drawdown (2:00 — 3:30)

   Let the water drain. Total brew should finish around 3:30. If much faster, your grind is too coarse. If much slower, too fine.
