Coffee Recipes: Pour-Over Method

Scott Rao – (old) V60 pour-over brew recipe:

Recipe: 1:15.5 ratio – 22g coffee with 340g water

  1. 22g coffee – in video Scott is using Colombian Cauca
  2. Wet filter – dump rinse water
  3. Put grounds – shake filter to even
  4. Pre-wet 3 x water (66g water)
  5. Excavating slur – break-up dry areas – all grounds wet in 10s. Bubbles tell co2 – all bubbles stop after 10s
  6. After 45s main pour – keep kettle at one height – spread pour over the slurry – up to 360g
  7. Gentle stir coffee off the walls up to 1:45min
  8. Spin the filter gently to prevent grounds and flatten the grounds – a few revolutions 2-3 times – we want a flat coffee bed
  9. Wait until water has passed – look for ‘sand’ look

Tip: fine ground until it is astringent then back-up 1/2 settings to get all the sweetness (watery and weak -> too coarse ; astringent -> too fine)

Tip: water filters leave them10min in water and tase water

Snag Ho Park – V60 pour-over recipe

Coffee temperature:

Dark Roast – 85-89 celsius

Light Roast – Specialty – 92-95 celsius (93 = 199.3F)

Recipe 1:15 ratio – 30g coffee with 500g water – 2:45min extraction – In video Snag Ho is using Ethiopian coffee

  1. 30g coffee with 60g water for pre-wetting/blooming
  2. Wait 30s – wait for co2 release
  3. Pour to 150g – stir with spoon on surface
  4. Slowly center pour to 500g – level in V60 remains the same. Coffee out = water in
  5. Stir 3 times
  6. Wait until 2:45min (less coffee shorter time)

Chris Baca – V60 pour-over recipe

1:15 to 1:17 ratio – using 1:16 18g coffee with 288g water

  1. 30s bloom – bloom stir
  2. Total 288g water – last drop stir
  3. 3min total brew time – until last drop of water falls off the coffee

Tips: don’t water the filter, pour starting in the center and follow the color – color should be uniform – don’t touch the filter with water stream. Keep the water level down – add water as needed.
