The Origami Dripper is one of the most beautiful pour over brewers on the market. It doesn’t only look great though—it has the potential to make an excellent cup of coffee. This Origami pour over recipe comes from Alexander Mills. Alex has one of the most helpful coffee Instagram accounts that always features down to earth, incredibly helpful and approachable coffee tips. The Origami is a great brewer because it allows you to brew smaller doses. This small, 12.5 gram recipe is great because it’s repeatable and scaleable. One bloom followed by one pour is about as simple as it gets, and if you want to brew more volume then you can easily scale the recipe using a 1:16 ratio (keeping the bloom and single pour).
