OPERATION
Pour over manual brew coffee
This is the simplest coffee brewing approach. It allows the individual the most control
of saturation of the coffee grounds, also the most participation by the user. It requires
more time than hitting the On switch of a drip coffee maker but for many, its higher
involvement is part of the pleasure of coffee overall.
Equipment needed:
Brewing manual pour over method:
• Measure about 6 ounces of water for each cup you intend to brew. Place measured
water in kettle and turn on kettle to boil the water.
• Grind two tablespoons of beans per cup of coffee.
• Rinse the filter cone, filter, and coffee pot (or whatever you are brewing into) in hot
water to preheat them.
• Assemble the filter cone, filter and vessel and dump the ground coffee into the filter.
• When the water reaches a boil, take the kettle off the heat source and count about
five to fifteen seconds. The desired coffee brewing temperature is 205F so slightly
lower than boiling temperature.
• Now pour the water into the filter. Stir the coffee just a bit to be sure it all gets
saturated with water. A slow steady pour allows for the best extraction from the
grounds.

Tips:
• You may have to pour two or three times depending in the grind, filter size, and
amount of coffee being made.
• Pre-wetting the coffee grounds a minute before start pour over helps extraction.
• A narrower spout allows better water flow control.
• Pour-over coffee is usually ground finer than drip coffee maker, but not as fine as
espresso. If you are using a Melitta cone (which we recommend) the grind will be
more fine than that if you used a flat-bottom filter.
