Making coffee for many is a morning ritual with many variations. In this video I am brewing using the pour over method. I don't go into details about times and different ratios but do lay out a few basics and list the weights that I used. If you enjoyed this video please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Coffee Used:

Panther City Blend by Sons Coffee, Fort Worth, TX

Equipment used:

Fellow Stagg (X) Pour-Over set

Fellow Stagg Pour-Over Kettle

Porlex Mini Coffee Grinder

All the equipment used in this video is available at Sons of Liberty in Fort Worth, TX.

Process:

Using a scale, weigh out 18 grams whole coffee beans. Grind them to a semi-fine grind, it should look like coarse sand. I used the Porlex Mini hand crank grinder but you can use whichever you prefer.

Fill your kettle with water (preferably filtered) and heat it to 200ºF

Add the paper filter to your pour-over station and pour some of the hot water from the kettle over the filter, completely soaking it. This will remove any of the paper taste and also warms your glass. Empty the water from the glass and add the ground coffee to the filter. Create a shallow well in the coffee grounds with your finger.

In a circular motion, gently pour 40 grams of water over the coffee and allow it to “bloom” for 30 seconds.

In the same motion continue pouring an additional 60 grams of water. Pick up the pour-over station and gently swirl it a few times.

Continue pouring as evenly and consistently as possible until you end up with 250 grams of coffee (about 8 oz). If you want your coffee a little less strong you can go up to 280 grams.

Notes:

Starting with high quality, freshly roasted coffee is your best bet for getting a great end result. How people like their coffee is very personal to them, try out different ratios of coffee to water to find what you like best.
