Rate my pour

Step one: turn in the kettle, filtered water

Step two: weigh out beans; 16:1 ratio, 28g = 448ml coffee, perfect fit for my basic white girl mug



Step three: rinse filter (remember to empty mug before starting the brew)



Step four: grind! Slightly more course than machine grind, more fine that French press



Step five: add grounds to filter, level, zero scale



Step six: bloom; 2x water weight vs coffee weight



Step seven: first pour, spiral from outside to centre of coffee; 1/3 of remaining weight to 448g

Oh no! Ran out of uploads.. brb

[ercchry]

Step eight: wait till about here, second pour



Step nine: final pour about here



Enjoy:

That’s probably the last major thing on the list... GF prefers machine though; so still in discussions over a fancy kettle vs a fancy machine. The chemex ottomatic 2.0 might be the compromise

JFC, I have a day job. Between that and posting on beyond, idk if I have time for pour over coffee

And get yourself some red knobs, errchhryyyy.

well, there's other options for pour-over coffee. Here's my photo-essay:
I use the T-fal Express kettle with 1.7L of water in it (seems like enough)

A blinkone canister, an hario mini slim mill. with 2x 1/8 cup of beans (don't be an amateur and use a 1/4 cup scoop)



It makes this much ground coffee:


A blinkone metal filter/stand and a cup that my kid gave me for Christmas three years ago. Note the careful positioning of the cup, this is important.

Splash some water in. takes about 6 splashes.

When you lift up the filter to look inside, your hand may get a steam burn.

If you see the coffee up to this level, probably time to stop.

If you don't stop, it overflows, and if you positioned the cup in the right place, it runs into the sink and not onto the floor.

If you get distracted by making sure the kids have had their medication, or you have to make a grilled cheese sandwich, or braid their hair, or drive them to the bus or something, then making sure the coffee cup is overflowing into the sink is pretty important.

I can and do duplicate my process in the office.

I've been using 5 gallon jugs of reverse osmosis water and packets of Third Wave Water for the past month or so, there's a drastic difference of improvement from filtered tap water.

Also bought the single gallon packs originally and have quite a few left if anyone in the dirty south is interested in trying some out, would give packs away if you didn't want to spend $20 on a pack to test - https://www.amazon.ca/ProfileThird-W...dp/B077JG9X8Y/

Rec's for a good burr grinder? Value is more important than budget, within reason (i.e. over my cold dead body I still wouldn't spend $500 on one, no matter how aesthetically pleasing it is).
