How To Make A Barista Quality Pour Over (It's Easier Than You Think!)

First step, order your coffee at tbdcoffeeco.com. And then we begin.

We recommend purchasing whole bean and grinding them yourself to a medium-coarse, but a regular ground coffee will work just fine.

You can use any type of coffee. Don't get tripped up on thinking you need a certain bean or a certain flavor profile. Like any other type of drink, find what tastes good to you. If you're looking for a recommendation or a place to start, try this single-origin organic coffee from Mexico.

What you'll need:

  • Coffee
  • Mug
  • Scale
  • Kettle or pot to heat the water
  • Filtered water
  • Pour over dripper
  • Cone filters

  1. Measure 25 grams of coffee.
  2. Heat filtered water to 200 degrees. If you don't have a temperature gauge, heat the water until it boils, then remove from heat and let sit for 30 seconds.
  3. Rinse your pour over filter with hot water, then pour out the water from the mug. Add your coffee and grab your hot water.
  4. Reset your scale.
  5. Pour in a spiral motion, from the outside toward the inside, until the scale reaches 50 grams.
  6. Pause for 30 seconds to give the grounds time to release CO2 and bloom
  7. Spiraling in and out, add more water until all the grounds are once again covered and the scale reaches 150 grams.
  8. Wait another 30 seconds and continue pouring until the scale reaches 250 grams.
  9. Another 30 seconds then it’s time for the last pour. Add water until the scale reaches 325 grams.
  10. Let the water run through the filter and your coffee is ready!
