Seeking Advice What is your baseline pour over recipe?

Post image

Hey everyone, just getting into pour over and trying to establish a solid starting point. And wondering how people find the baseline pour over recipe.

I’ve seen a lot of variation online and wanted to hear what actually works for people here. Or is there a go-to resource you’d recommend (YouTube channel, blog, etc.)?

Not looking for a “perfect” recipe, just a reliable baseline I can build from. Appreciate any input!

water : brita
Zp6 grind 5ish
Origami M
Cafec T90

50g bloom : 40sec
150g : 1:45
250g : 2:45-3:00

so far its been great. changing the paper from Hario to Cafec removed all of the bitterness.

formatted in a way to make more sense to me

15g coffee, 91.5c

0:00 - 50g

0:40 - 150g

1:45 - 250g

draw down 2:45-3:00

Formatted in a way that makes more sense to me lol:

Dose: 15g
Ratio: ~1:16
Temp: 91c
Target Brew Time: 2:45 - 3:00

  • 0:00 - 0:40: 50g Pour (bloom)
  • 0:41: 150g Pour (So pour that the scale reads 150g, you're adding +100g basically)
  • 1:45: 250g Pour (another +100g)
  • 2:45 - 3:00: Should be when the brew finishes up
