Equipment

  • Kōno pour over dripper
  • Conical filter

Ingredients

  • 15 grams coffee ground medium fine
  • 240 grams 205°F (95°C) water

Instructions

  • Grind coffee, pre-rinse filter and add coffee to brewer
  • Bloom coffee with 45 grams of water
  • At around 0:35, add water using low, slow and gentle circular pours to reach a total brew weight of 110 grams
  • At around 1:10 (before the slurry has fully drained), add another low, slow and gentle circular pour to reach a total brew weight of 180 grams
  • At around 1:55 (before the slurry has fully drained),pour gently along the edge to wash down any grinds and continue to pour slow and low circular pours to reach total brew weight of 240 grams
  • Allow drawdown. Total brew time should be around 3:30

Notes

  • When pouring, keep it slow and gentle with a low pour and not filling up the dripper.
  • Timing with these recipes are always tricky because you have to put a specific time when many times it is a bit variable based on the coffee, etc. With this recipe, keep an eye on the slurry as your best judge on timing. Wait for the slurry to drain, but not fully, before filling up again.
